What purpose? Clustering is set as a goal, not a purpose. The purpose
is to have a good operating system that will eventually be capable of
cluster operation. If people don't agree that having a usable operating
system, then I think I'm betting on the wrong horse.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Don't you read what other people, especially Hasso
report?
I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT THROUGHPUT! This is all about latency. Opening
xterm and waiting 5 or 10 seconds for the prompt is not acceptable.
So to anybody who "can not reproduce" this issue: stop being such
obnoxious smartasses. There ARE serious problems, and anybody who is
just trying to reproduce this will notice issues at once.
I think it's as simple as that: If you don't see problems, you're not
qualified to talk.
The best featureful file system is worth nothing if nobody can use it
because it just performs badly. Now is the time to address this before
we complicate the system even more and make it even harder to diagnose
and fix.
