Sorry there, it is in real-time. It is an attempt to create a real "clustered filesystem". If I am running a large POP3 server, one connection can go to one machine, while the other goes to a neighbour and for this reason, the update has to be immediate. > Germans say, "Same procedure this year--same > procedure > > ever year" (a reference to "Dinner for One"). > > Zze Germans speak English?

I was really very shocked that this thing was something that I would say 60-70% make a tradition of watching--even if they don't understand English! I live in a small village and English is NOT very well spoken but I hear everybody telling me how they watch this. It is a rather elementary story and the pictures tell most of the story--which might account of it's success. > Then again, most would feel sympathethic with the > piss drunk butler, of course ;-) I don't know, I would like to drink as much as does every year for free ;-) Cheers Andy > > Best regards, > Gabriel > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-cluster@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-cluster > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-cluster-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
