Re: Can dfsa work with coda / afs

Hello,
	I have found that openMosix works well for distributing load of long-lived 
(greater than 1 minute) cpu-bound processes.
	On recent versions of openmosix, dfsa has been removed.  I have not noticed 
the difference with the cpu-bound processes I run.
	From what I've heard OpenMosix isn't all that good for things like kernel 
compilation, where there is lots of CPU activity, but each process is only a 
few seconds in length.
	Maybe others can add to this "what openmosix is good for" from their own 
experience.

Good luck!
	C.
