High Performance Diskless Linux At AX-Div, LLNL

Lee Busby writes "As a co-author, I am biased, but I think that our recent paper describing a diskless Linux deployment at Lawrence Livermore National Lab (PDF)may be of general interest. It's a little different than most diskless systems -- simpler, and designed to be high performance."

At my University there is a fairly large Andrew system which performs well. The only gotcha is that Andrew implements its own non-Unix file permissions, which is a bit confusing. Coda is of course based on Andrew. It differs only slightly in its concurrent write semantics.
