Hi,

as I won't be able to help on the implementation, I won't bring this to 
the dev-list for now ;-) However, I guess the only needed feature of 
the shared fs used is a working byte range locking, right? So I will 
find out if the fs provided by openmosix (mfs) has this feature, which 
would make a set of mosix nodes a great radiance installation. I don't 
really want to spend hours on a working nfs setup to share just ONE 
file ;-) at least if it is not really necessary.

CU Lars.
