Jess,

I understand you want to promote your software, but i think it is also very 
unfair and not appropriate to claim that OSCAR is not appropriate for diskless 
cluster. We actually have an experimental package for diskless which worked 
pretty well on few clusters at ORNL.

So please, even if you are "a long time OSCAR user", do not speak for OSCAR 
developers especially since you are clearly not aware of the past developments.

Randy, if you want more details about the diskless solution, please contact me 
directly.

Best regards,
