Though it wasn't just for booting in the old days. On a diskless
workstation, your whole filesystem would be on nd. And it was a real
mistake to mount a writable partition on two machines, but nothi

Hello hackers...
I've spend some time working on GEOM Gate, so...
Cache was implemented, but only for reading (cache for write requests
isn't good idea here, IMHO).
Many workers can be used now. This will help to split requests.
Requests are queued and always worker with minimal

What does 'it' means? I guess it's not UFS, but the pure ability of
sharing a device on a bus, connected to more than one adapters.

be written that do synchronization on
using a protocol of some sort when talking to a common block device, but
that will keep you busy for a while, I expect :-).
That said, I think the geom gate stuff looks very cool :-). You might be
able to run some interesting performance numbers comparing NFS

This doesn't work on a shared SCSI bus, so I suspect sharing the device
on the net won't help.

Collecting cheap on board serial lines to make a big terminal server
makes sense to me :)
BTW, Pawel's stuff would be even more interesting if it would be
possible to mount the same filesystem on more than one machines.

I think this isn't really hard to implement.
But there are two problems:
1. Device major numbers.
2.

I've done something what will be called GEOM Gate.
This software provide disk devices mounting through the network.

Installation is quite trivial:
