distributed file system

What is the fastest way to access files on a remote disk using Myrinet?
This is a very broad question and I will try to narrow it.  One can
consider NFS or specialized file systems that keep a local copy.
I tried a distributed file system under development, coda, but (for
me) it was a headache, too many problems arose that required manual
intervention.  While I would be interested in hearing about various
file systems -- for example, I am interested in the status of Andrew
file system, it was said to be placed in the public domain, but I have
not heard more -- I would, nonetheless, be happy to obtain NFS as
fast as possible.  I am ignorant of the details of NFS, I once read
that it can use either tcp/ip or UDP, and while I realize that Myrinet
can support tcp/ip I wonder if native use of the Myrinet for NFS would
be faster.  To return to generalizations, a fast hard disk on a PC
can give a peak of 160 MB and Myrinet can give a bandwidth on the
order of 200 MB, this means that hard disks that are not local should
not be a great bottleneck.  But this depends on the latency from
various levels of handling the message, so I wonder if perhaps simple
NFS has been "ported" to Myrinet to reduce the latency.
