Hugo, It seems you want to implement some sort of remote pessimistic logging -a la MPICH-V1- ? MPICH-V: Toward a Scalable Fault Tolerant MPI for Volatile Nodes -- George Bosilca, Aurélien Bouteiller, Franck Cappello, Samir Djilali, Gilles Fédak, Cécile Germain, Thomas Hérault, Pierre Lemarinier, Oleg Lodygensky, Frédéric Magniette, Vincent Néri, Anton Selikhov -- In proceedings of The IEEE/ACM SC2002 Conference, Baltimore USA, November 2002
In the PML-V, unlike older designs, the payload of messages and the
non-deterministic events follow a different path. The payload of messages is
logged on the sender's volatile memory, while the non-deterministic events are
sent to a stable event logger, before allowing the process to impact the state
of others (the code you have found in the previous email). The best depiction
of this distinction can be read in this paper

If you intend to store both payload and message log on a remote node, I suggest
you look at the "sender-based" hooks, as this is where the message payload is
managed, and adapt from here. The event loggers can already manage a subset
only of the processes (if you launch as many EL as processes, you get a 1-1
mapping), but they never handle message payload; you'll have to add all this
yourself is it so pleases you.
Hope it clarifies.
