>From what I've read of the project, migratable network sockets don't yet appear to be supported, along with shared memory (Distributed Shared Memory is still on the Todo list, which also means that programs compiled with pthreads aren't supported either).
However, if a process can't migrate under OpenMosix then it just doesn't migrate, rather than crash. It might be possible to migrate a whole context at once though, without needing DSM, but moving the whole address space attached to a single context? I'm still not convinced of the usefulness of this with though, especially with the added complexity it entails. It would appear to be a lot easier to distribute vservers amongst machines manually, and use load-balancers where appropiate and it would certainly be faster at present time.
