Hi All, With further investigation I managed to shortlist the file systems that I can (as I hope) in this environment. Now the problem is to coose the correct one. I will publish the list, so if anybody know their prons and crons, please advise me.
1. GFS (www.globalfilesystems.org) - commercial product, seems very interesting 2. InterMezzo (www.inter-mezzo.org) - somewhat new comer, has some interesting developments coming up 3. Coda (http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu) - Excellent, but no news about co-existance with Cyrus Mail Spool 4. Parallel Virtual File System (http://www.parl.clemson.edu/pvfs) - Excellent, but no news about co-existance with Cyrus Mail Spool Thanks in advance, Eranga ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Pilosov" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Eranga Udesh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2001 8:43 PM Subject: Re: NFS & Cyrus (urgent!) > Short answer: NFS and Cyrus don't mix. > > Use GFS (www.globalfilesystem.org) or Intermezzo (www.inter-mezzo.org), > which provide local symantics over shared storage. > > -alex > On Wed, 12 Dec 2001, Eranga Udesh wrote: > > > Hi All, > > > > I need to setup a clustering IMAP mail server.
