One of the issues we were discussing was the number of _different_
configurations which are necessary, i.e. one for the managers, one
for the supervisors and one for the data servers. (Plus a discussion
about having to start two daemons for all of these situations.) The goal
here is in part to reduce 3 configurations to 2 (plus allow a single
daemon to be started).
I'd like to see a config file for a basic configuration (which probably
means that I need to try it and put it on the examples page... ;-) Personally
I think a dataserver/supervisor config file of ~10 lines or less would be a
very nice target for the very basic case. (Putting aside configurations for
talking to mass storage.)
