InterMezzo was a distributed file system written for the Linux kernel, distributed under the GNU General Public License. It was included in the standard Linux kernel from version 2.4.15 but was dropped from version 2.6. InterMezzo is designed to work on top of an existing journaling file system such as ext3, JFS, ReiserFS or XFS. It was developed around 1999. Typical applications of replication mode are: * A cluster of servers operating on a shared file system. * Computers that are not always connected to the network, such as laptops.
