Re: [dsdp-tm-dev] The eclipse platform is working on a virtual file system (EFS)....
|
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

This is very interesting work. However, I'm wondering if this is what
target management actually needs. It seems to me that where TM workspace
resources reside is moot and that what TM is looking for is a flexible
scheme for the deployment of artifacts and the management of remote
processes and debug. Its not clear that EFS provides this capability.
