Bruce,
this looks interesting. I cannot see a good overview on the site
though. I'm familiar with using drbd http://www.drbd.org
At first look this seems to be using a similar endb network block device
to have RAID 5 storage with the drives being located on different
machines on the network. Maybe I have picked this up wrong.
Also the 'precise accounting patch' is available for 2.6.7
Is this necessary for using the filesystem?
