Well, indeed, it would seem that the general definition of distributed filesystem == network filesystem. I guess (and I am admittedly biased) I just feel like the bar on "distributed" filesystems has been raised so that a distributed filesystem is a network filesystem which is truly distributed amongst more than one "server" node. It doesn't seem the industry is recognizing this (yet) however. > VirtualBox is supposed to emulate desktop PC not full blown > hiper-complicated machine Hiper-complicated machine? "Hiper-complicated" machines, a.k.a. super-computers, today, are frequently built using commodity "PC"s, so modelling a supercomputer with a few VMs is a perfectly viable use-case. The distinction is not as black and white as you might want it to be. > If it is necessary to access one physical disk form few virtual machines > ATA over Ethernet it is way to go > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ata_over_ethernet Not it's not. A VMDK virtual disk does just fine. Perfectly in fact. b.
