@samj GFS is cool-but many undesirable attributes too. Your arch has some serious performance and coherency issues - works for some not all 11:59 AM Aug 8th, 2011 via web in reply to samj
@samj that's funny! Given that I have built several RAID controllers... but building distributed RAID(constructs) on cloud nodes - yikes! 11:51 AM Aug 8th, 2011 via web in reply to samj
@samj hmmm, things like content, transactions, records need to be persisted somewhere... at the bottom of a stack somewhere is real storage 11:43 AM Aug 8th, 2011 via web in reply to samj
@samj no, you can lose nodes < but don't you need persistence eventually? Nice to be stateless, but somewhere you need state/real storage 9:20 AM Aug 8th, 2011 via web in reply to samj
