In this paper we propose a distributed, replicated block device for The Grid based on the the replication algorithm of Y. Amir[1]. The end goal is to support application-specified semantics, both wrt. replication strategy and the consistency model used for reads and writes. We list the proposed features of the Grid Block Device and discuss various methods of implementation.
