The data is all in a shared file system, nice and coherent, the apps don't actually know there is another OS banging on the data, it all just works.
Larry1: "One way to get the ccCluster scalability is by un-globalizing the filesystem"
Larry2: "Let me tell you about this great application of ccClusters, it involves using a shared file system. It all just works."
Either you're going to replicate everyone's content or you're going to use a shared filesystem. In one case you'll go fast but have the same locking problems as a traditional SMP, in the other case you'll go slow because you'll be replicating all the time.
Which is it :-)
What I suppose is coming up is some example application that really doesn't need a shared filesystem, which I bet will be a quite obscure one or at least obscure enough that it can't justify ccCluster all on it's own. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
