Hi Jim,
I browsed through the paper and it looks close to what I was
thinking about, so I'd suspect that the general conclusions probably
still hold true.
If there were iAFS servers introduced, I think they would be "delay
servers". What I was thinking was a little different, and might be
something that I read about in one of the IBM "Storage Tank"
descriptions. I was thinking that the file server would use a
callback to the clients to say that "the chunk that you want is at
this address (of a closeby client cache) with this ID". The chunk
could be transferred and the chunk registered with the fileserver
when the transfer is done???
Are you sure it wasn't "Distributed Stoarge Tank"?
Since the simple "storage tank" has nothing to do with real
distributed file systems since they don't distribute the files
themselves but the calls to the devices. (In this case the storage
devices)

That sounds more reasonable... I'm still fuzzy this morning. I may have
to go for a caffeine IV.
