I saw a thread about that in > January but it seems to have died out. we have a way to do that the same way plan9 does, with private name spaces. But we haven't finished the port. There is a start at www.acl.lanl.gov/~rminnich, look for the file system for freebsd. So far nobody's had the time to finish it. We're using the bproc stuff here, it is really nice. You could try to port that too. But we also know it won't scale past 256, so we're looking at what comes after that. ron To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-cluster" in the body of the message
