Any plans for *supporting* distributed files systems from a non-sgi servers? How about ability to set up local root and local swap with everything else served from the non-sgi server?  I'm running out of disk space and I don't like duplicating files on all the sgi's.  On that note, I don't want to waste an sgi by making it a file server.  It's like putting your race horse out to pull the cart.
