Just a thought regarding the client/server as opposed to the P2P
 architecture, the way I see it is that doing a P2P system would be
 beneficial in the sense of collaborative editing. On the other hand, you
 could end up with a client/server architecture as well, through the use of
 dedicated servers, which just mirror the network filesystem as a whole. It
 would allow, say, 2 workstations and a backup server to be constantly synced
 together, whereas with a client-server structure you wouldn't have that
 advantage. Really the only difference would be that a workstation running
 IVDFS would be able to accept updates and update its own local copy, as well
 as sending updates to the "server(s)", and the "server(s)" would be able to
 function as
workstations as well, and write to its own local system and update the other
machines on the grid. And, more importantly, the filesystem /could/ still
function as the proposed client/server layout.
