Re: [dsdp-tm-dev] The eclipse platform is working on a virtual file syst

[Martin Oberhuber <martin.oberhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi David,

thanks a lot for the pointer. I wanted to contact you anyway regarding 
this work.
I was already monitoring this work on

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=106176
http://www.eclipsezone.com/eclipse/forums/t49685.html

I plan to reserve a timeslot for discussing this in the light of TM and 
RSE at the Chicago meeting.

My personal feeling is, that TM is certainly more than a remote 
filesystem. Particularly, management
of remote resources in TM must especially keep an eye on unreliable 
connections, timeouts, long delays etc.

But from the various services that TM has to deal with, remote 
filesystem is certainly one. And when
we are about to define an official interface for the remote filesystem 
service in TM, we'll definitely
have to consider EFS (and probably propose extensions or modifications) 
- or agree after discussions
that it does not do what we need.

So, in preparation for our meeting, I'd appreciate if you could spend a 
little time to look at the
bugzilla entry mentioned above, and the EFS interfaces, and I'm eager to 
hear your opinion on
comparing EFS with the filesystem service that RSE has.

Looking forward to meeting you,
Martin
