Re: FAQ: Is Coda ready for use?

[Lionix]

I don't see why.  Maybe multiple servers, multiple VSGs for
performance or organizational reasons, but Coda scales well in that
direction.
Whop's...I was understanding 200 servers instead of ~ 200 clients...

Ie, "yes".

I've read some in order to know a little bit what a userspace is....
hum hum...
The coda client is quite complex; the kernel provides only
enough services to implement to VFS interface, so that ordinary
programs can use usual file APIs.  All real work is done by upcalls
into the client (which is actually a server from the point of view of
other processes accessing it:
                                     network
Unix process <-+  +--> venus daemon <---------> coda server
              |  |          A
          VFS |  | Coda     |
     downcall |  | upcall   |
              |  |          |
              V  V          V
             kernel     file cache
and any file data returned follows the opposite path.

Quite interesting thanks ! One step more in coda understanding.
I should read some general docs too on coda, I did it at begining and 
didn't understand too much at all.
So I only follow the way of  practicing and reading ML...

The bad student will go home and read / work... :-P
