[ale] GFS for winders?

[Jim Kinney]

Was looking at that and it seems it requires construction from windows
servers shares.

What they _really_ need is a way to partition all desktop hard drives into a
"used here and now" local partition and a huge chunk made available for a
distributed filesystem. I can't tell from reading M$ tech docs on DFS if it
actually does block level replication automatically or not.

Totally spoiled using Linux stuff nearly exclusively for the past 10 years.
