both of those issues. TNC becme the OS for Intel Paragon which scaled to
4096 nodes. Locus moved the technology into 18 different components and
made them available separately. They were all eventually made open
source. The TNC file system became DEC's TruCluster FS, a project which I
lead and brought me to DEC. I had also lead a group in Boston that had
put TNC into HP-UX with full process migration before we did the work for
DEC actually, but HP cancelled the project before it ever shipped. Bruce
and the west coast Locus folks put most of TNC into Linux a few years ago
before he retired and as I say, succeeded to release it as open source -- I
can dig up a URL for that project, if folks are interested. I had it
running on a small 8 node cluster about 8-10 years ago; it was very cool;
but was using a older version of the RH and a 2.4 Linux kernel around the
time Linux went to the the 2.6 kernel.
I would be very very interested in seeing that.
