I lost the thread , are you talking about using /proc/cluster, /cluster or
whatever to stats and control files or you plan to do something like mounting
that filesystem and have
/proc/cluster/node1/234
/proc/cluster/node1/235
/proc/cluster/node1/236
/proc/cluster/node1/238
/proc/cluster/node2/23
/proc/cluster/node2/24
A bit crazy , all the nodes need to know everything, but amazing use
konqueror's drag'n drop to migrate a process ^_^ (i think is the first one
anyway :P)

When the need of interrupts comes the kernel takes care of it , when the need
of multiprocessors comes the kernel takes care of it, i just wonder why when
the need of multicomputers comes suddenly the kernel developers decided it
was userspace.
Yes i know , no every one have a lan and want it .
Well i know much more people having a lan in his house than a SMP machine.
And several of them will love a SSI system (in fact they hardly would believe
it ^_^ )
