main problem with mosix is that it will farm out processes not really knowing about the network topology unless your explicitly specify it. what is the problem with this? if you have a campus network obvious there are some nodes that are closer (netographically speaking) closer to each other. some nodes are further naman. what happens if i spawn bash and my bash process is farmed out to a node that is across a low speed link?
first of all, did i want bash spawned? second, what if it spawns it to a netographically far away node? these two reasons alone make it idea to deploy mosix on a controlled environment. probably keeping mosix within a lab is the best way to go.
