Re: Paging file

Right before he retired, I heard John Sears tell the WMCPA group at the
Abbey that if he had it to do all over again he would like to have seen
OS/400 use a Hierarchical File System rather than Single Level Store.  His
reason at the time was not security, it was that SLS made it too hard for
OS/400 to play in the SAN and NFS world.  How do you share disks across an
array of machines if one or more of those machines thinks that all of that
disk is part of it's main memory?

An interesting thought.
