[Openmosix-devel] RE: [openMosix-it] openMosix Roadmap

[Premoli, R. [ITPPG/1010] <rob...@ph...>]

For better understand, I sen some questions (see below)

>2.4.26 be oMFS-less, add the mighsm compile-time option, and
>features-checker 
>In 2.4.26 we will also eliminate oMFS support.  oMFS will, in time, be
>replaced by integration with  oGFS, Lustre, PVFS.
it seams you worked a lot to do oMFS... why did you have idea to remove 
this feature?

>For 2.6, we are (in summary):
>Moving all code we can from kernel to user-space, but zero configuration
>operation is still the goal, just as in 2.4.
Do you want move up openMosix from kernel-space like to create a "layer"
between kernel-space and user-space? If yes, why?
I think if openMosix is inside the kernel, it is more efficent/responsive:
isn't it?


>Plus, there will be cleanups or a total rewrite of some parts.
>openGFS is a long-term goal, but not immediate for 2.6.
>Integration of InfiniBand drivers 
Can you better detail openGFS and Infiniband Drivers?
