4. Configuring mosix defaults

The mosix package provides a file /etc/default/mosix which can be configured for certain defaults. For example, setting MOSIX_NODE=yes is required (and is the default) for mosix to be initialised upon bootup. You can also initialise mosix by hand with

/etc/init.d/mosix start.

The other things that can be currently configured are the default node policy using the variables MIGRATE and BLOCK. Setting MIGRATE=yes allows local processes to migrate to remote nodes by default. Similarly, BLOCK=no will allow remote processes to migrate to the local node, by default. MFS can be disabled with MFS=no.

Finer grained per-process control is being worked upon right now.
