I have not personally tried this out, but the linux kernel has support
for the intermezzo file system.
"InterMezzo is a networked file system with disconnected operation
and kernel level write back caching. It is most often used for
replicating potentially large trees or keeping laptop/desktop copies
in sync.
If you say Y or M your kernel or module will provide InterMezzo
support. You will also need a file server daemon, which you can get
from <http://www.inter-mezzo.org/>."
I would be interested to hear from anyone who has tried this out.
