Computer Science research done on Beowulf class systems

[Dominique Chabord]

Hi Andrew,

My focus is high availability and reduce downtime and data loss after crash.
A journalled file system is supposed to restart faster after a crash because
it doesn't need to perform the llllooooonnnnnggggg FSCK that never ends on
vanilla file systems.

There are also good features which can be built on such new technology, but
my interest is fast restart first data integrity.

regards
Dominique
