Re: Can dfsa work with coda / afs

Hi,
    My primary focus is on building affordable computing solutions. Yes, 
its true that I can achieve the high availability of file system using 
Coda/Afs. Basically my idea is to build cluster which will support X 
terminals. Hence all the computations will be performed on server and 
only display will be ported to the X terminals. Hence I thought at it 
will be more beneficial if the HA cluster will work as HPC cluster. 
    For this purpose OpenMosix is the suitable candidate. As the users 
will get log-in to one of the server in the cluster and they will start 
executing their programs on the server, if that server gets overloaded 
OpenMosix can balance the load by migrating the process. Hence I want to 
integrate OpenMosix with distributed file system which focus on high 
availability. Hope now I'm more clear.
