Depending on how it's done, it could alleviate the too-many-ports problem, but it doesn't really address the uncontrolled contention for CPU, memory, and so on. In a way it would make that worse, as it's one more process to keep switching in and out among the others. Sure would have been nice, though. _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
