Ashish, oMFS/DFSA is now deprecated. While most of us would not think of openMosix as a HA solution, sometimes we lack the project details or the insight that would lead you to openMosix. Here is a suggestion and a way to test the suitability of your ideas. Bootable Cluster CD might be a good way for you to test the design of your system. BCCD is openMosix with the tools to build nearly any kind of cluster. I think it does not have AFS, but it does have PVFS. This would not be a production cluster, but it would give you a test lab to try out your ideas. Be sure to report back to us when you solve this design problem.

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. Regards, - Ashish G. K.
