X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4522.1200 My comments interspersed in Jay's ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jay Miller" <jnmiller, cryptofreak dot org> To: <antera, cryptofreak dot org> Sent: Monday, October 08, 2001 5:43 PM Subject: Re: Updated architecture doc > - Words by Perry and Lorae Merritt <plmerritt, hypermall dot net> [011006 21:40]: > > It's not really that updated, but I wanted to get your feedback on the drawing. I think it has everything Don' ppt drawing had, but converted to visio. I also went with a much cleaner approach than I had previously attempted. > > The picture is nice and clean, though I do have a couple of comments. > > - What's the 'Data Manager' in the ADML layer? Why do we have a > 'persistent data manager' and a 'data manager'? Perhaps it's > synonymous with the Management Layer in the ADML arch-doc? I wondered the same thing when I put the PDM in. I'll take it out. > Also, in the descriptions, there seems to be a little confusion between FS metadata > and VSA extended attributes. I'll look at it and try to clear up the confussion.

It's nice that you have opinions. > - It's petty, but the ADCs don't actually connect to the Portal. How would you have me draw them? Seperate with lines to the portal? > - Why do we have two 3rd-party software pieces linked together? > - We may, though, want to link a couple of ADCs together, or otherwise > represent the plugin/chain nature of the Backup Preparation modules. That was sorta my intent. You're right, it wasn't the best way to represent it. I'll try again. > - The User Interface prolly shouldn't be connected to an ADC - at > least not if 'ADC' is still going to mean 'application dependent > code'. It may be connected, instead, to the configuration database..? Ok. > - The Logging component is missing. > > Looks good! What, the shape of the blocks? > > > June also called me today. She's back from vacation and interested in meeting early next week. Since I'm a loser and can't meet very regularly right now, I'd like June to try and keep things organized and moving forward. There is still a fair amount of work identified in Don's emails that would be good to get done. > > I think the documents are the things in Don's note that are awaiting > completion?
