Hmm, well, it could probably work well if you don't have a lot of data (then you don't need to create a lot of partition/volumes). I found their (OpenAFS/Coda) limited sizes a major problem. They're not exactly the speediest things I've layed my hands upon either... Intermezzo seems more promising - but is still to unmature for production settings. > I'd like to gather any information possible since we're in the process > of building a cluster with ~ 150 nodes and about 100-140 GB/node of > 'free' hard drive space.
