My own project is a block driver, that's not a filesystem, right?
Cluster membership services as implemented by Sistina are generic,
symmetric and (hopefully) raceless. See:

http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/als00/2000papers/papers/full_papers/preslan/preslan.pdf

There is much overlap between the OpenAIS and Sistina's Symmetric
Cluster Architecture. You are right, we do need to get together.

By the way, how do I get your source code if I don't agree with the
BitKeeper license?
