This is not possible due to the CAP theorem.
(You will need to severely rethink your concept of "file" at the very least.)
- lproven 3y agoAnd yet, that's how Plan 9 boxes talk to one another. I think maybe you are misinterpreting my post as saying "mount the entire disk used by box1 on box2 simultaneously". Although when it comes to that, I would also note that DEC's AdvFS did more or less that, 20+ years ago, and it's FOSS now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdvFS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdvFS And it's also what the DragonflyBSD team are attempting to make happen in HAMMER2. https://www.dragonflybsd.org/hammer/ https://www.dragonflybsd.org/hammer/
