[Pvfs2-developers] fs.conf integrity checks

Going further to a (almost) zeroconf version of PVFS2 I was thinking about an 
long term alternative that each server fetches the fs.conf from a (maybe 
dedicated) metadataserver.
The metadataserver could contact the online servers in cases the config 
changes...
Thus the mds could automatically increase the total handle numbers if 
necessary (now more handles) and also new servers could be added easier...
Just some thoughts...

Have a nice day,
Julian
