Indeed, the reason we at OSC are interested in CODA at all is to have a shared scratch space for a cluster of machines. In our case, we're running a Beowulf cluster, and some sort of fast, shared scratch area (not necessarily /tmp, but something more like $TMPDIR in NQS across several nodes) would make the lives of both us (the admins) and the users much easier. --Troy -- Troy Baer email: troy_at_osc.edu Science & Technology Support phone: 614-292-9701 Ohio Supercomputer Center web: http://oscinfo.osc.eduReceived on 1999-04-30 12:51:21
