I can tell you that for clusters web console interfaces are pretty
useless, as scripting is hard for them, and a web interface is really
pretty clumsy for almost anything of reasonable size. I think that
kvmfs is really a great idea, and what I would want if I had a 128 or
1024 node or larger cluster. Note that we plan9 to do sims here with
10,000 instances of lguest on a 128-node cluster, and a web interface
would be the worst possible way to do that.
