Since Linaro is flapping loudly about Grub2, I should think that support for the modern file systems on the 64 Bit arm offerings would abound, such as ZFS, CEPH, GlusterFS, etc etc. Anyone clustering arm dev boards into something big? Sharing knowledge?
None of the ARM boards you cite are 64 bit capable. - The A15 does have LPAE which allows for larger memory addressing but this is not general 64bit pointers in anyway. - LPAE allows multiple virtualized guests to each potentially get their own 32-bit/4GB and unique memory using stage 2 translation
64 bit ARMv8 paths are: - The first 64bit coming from ARM is A57/A53 which is not in production yet - There are some early 64-bit ARMv8 chips sampling from some server vendors - Apple released its 64bit A7 - Last I took a look there was ARMv8 simulators from ARM... probably the dev boards are around - ... other I've not noticed...
