Hi Ivan,

Konvalo.org is interesting -- both idea and implementation.

Since you have current experience with Coda, I have a question for you:
which would you recommend today for a few hundred terabytes of both R/O
and R/W data for a 1000-seat trading floor -- AFS or Coda? =20

Just to make it interesting; assume outages can cost as much as $30,000
per seat per minute, so your career and even the company could depend on
it; you have 6 months from today before the floor needs to be live, and
the machines aren't purchased yet, so you'll actually only have around
2-3 months to set it all up, test, debug, fix, deal with application
compatibility, etc.  You also have to deal with the normal politics of
introducing new technology, which means every little problem is
magnified beyond proportion...

Has Coda reached the point where you would trust it that far yet?  Why
or why not?  If not, what's the farthest you would push it right now?
