starting with something like /sys/src/cmd/nfs.c or ramfs.c and a setup like this:
mount /stuff /n/node0 import node1 /stuff /n/node1 import node2 /stuff /n/node2 fscreate and fsopen would create or open /n/node[012]/file and fswrite would write to /n/node[012]/file. a good developer (not necessarily a superstar) could write it in a week. but this assumption -- that this would work better than if all the nodes accessed a reliable file server -- is wrong. > is it too much for a syntetic filesystem 9P based? or too few? > > > > On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 5:37 PM, ron minnich <rminn...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 12:06 AM, Giacomo Tesio <giac...@tesio.it> wrote: >> >> > If a sincronization system for the grid nodes (or a sintetic filesystem >> > providing access to the grid and replicating writes among node) would >> > require more than 3 weeks of man work probably I've no chance to get this >> > solution approved. >> >> 3 weeks?
