[9fans] Remus: High Availability via Asynchronous Virtual Machine Replication

[Roman Shaposhnik]

This appears to be an interesting way of solving an HA problem:
     http://nss.cs.ubc.ca/remus/papers/remus-nsdi08.pdf

It is also different from a typical approach of checkpointing in HPC.
One thing that I'm wondering about though is whether Plan9 architecture
of things like /net and /dev/sd would actually allow it to be HAed in that
fashion *without* a help of the hypervisor.

Does it make sense or am I totally off base here?

Thanks,
Roman.
