No, Peter Braam is the intermezzo guy, it is based on ideas he worked
out from experiences with Coda. Intermezzo is a neat little distributed
filesystem consisting of a kernel part (Presto) which works like a
filter on top of an existing ext2 filesystem, and a userspace part
(Lento) which is written in ___perl___. And believe it or not, it is
actually reasonably fast and has some amazing functionality.
See www.inter-mezzo.org for more, the mailing lists there look even
quieter than the Coda lists.
Jan,
Who believes filesystems like intermezzo should be written in a more
appropriate language than perl, f.i. python ;)
