Re: architecture diagram

I think that Augusto spotted one omission in my architecture:
We need a way to decide where an application is allowed/supposed to
store its checkpoint files. 

But I disagree that we need another component, a "mediator", for this.

According to Augusto, the mediator would:

- store meta data
  -> goes to the meta data service
- be notified about events like checkpoint completion
  -> goes to the application manager
- decide where to write a checkpoint to
  -> this is a resource management question where the resource in charge
     is disk space
     -> goes to the resource management system???

How do other people with existing CPR systems determine where checkpoints
should be written to?
