Why? This makes some very interesting use cases a lot more difficult
to
set up. We should allow multiple hosts in a PosixFS data center, and
it
should be the user's responsibility that if he adds multiple hosts,
that
each of those see the same data.
I *think* we're saying the same thing.
If you have multiple hosts in a datacenter with PosixFS then it's your responsibility
to make sure that they can all see the same storage
