I gotta say, this project has excited me more than just about anything I can remember. I can't wait till it's stable enough to deploy in a production environment. I'm almost sitting here and waiting for that to happen so I can get to work on it :) > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian J.

I was really planning on doing it properly when I implemented this = cluster, using DMEP capable hardware and all. Unfortunately the boss doesn't = want to buy me a =A340k FC RAID box + HBA's just to play with. I mean, he'll = have to buy them eventually ANYWAY... but I'm just not sure that this is how = I'll ultimately end up doing things. If only I had the bits sitting around = ready to fiddle with! I guess I could grab a few leftover boxes from = downstairs and plug a simple IP based test system together... Although, now that I think about it, the boss is out buying himself a = boat today... he can't be that short on cash :) > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian J.

The code is remarkably stable for its version number (0.5.2), due to the well-tested NSC code that's gone into it. Although it's not ready for production, it would be helpful if people could test it in a simulated production environment and give feedback before it hits 1.0. This could provide valuable insight into what features, enhancements, performance tweaks, bug fixes, etc. are desired by users.
