In house we use DRBD as reliable, fault-tolerant NFS servers. It's worked well for us so far and meets some of your requirements. Version 0.8 supports multi-master but ymmv. Also, it only supports 2 machines that can act as part of the group, so it's not that distributed. Hope this helps. josh _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
