How does this provide a multiple-server distributed filesystem? Looks like the test you did basically demonstrated its NFS-style capability.. I'm interested in host A and host B having separate local storage, and having pohmelfs actually 'mirror' them automagically as if they were on a shared backend (like FCAL or iSCSI).. Does pohmelfs do this or is that DST? Or both? So.. How does this provide a multiple-server distributed filesystem? Looks like the test you did basically demonstrated its NFS-style capability..
