My interestings are FreeBSD Kernel, Storage & Network based FreeBSD and cluster. I heared about DAFS based FreeBSD. http://www.cs.duke.edu/ari/dafs/ http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~vino/fs-perf/dafs/dafs-server-release-dec8-2001.html But I find the two university have no more study about that. I do not know the reason. And The implementation of DAFS based on FreeBSD must based specail hardware(Emulex cLAN). Another, I do not know whether there are a simulator in FreeBSD like M-VIA in Linux. the M-VIA supports both software and hardware VIA. I want to know whether whether there are softwares to support VIA based normal Giga NIC or 100base NIC. I have not a clear idea about that. I want to research something about that, but I do not know how and where I should start. Thank you very much!!
