Consider the following scenario: - Machine 1 has a UFS filesystem on a block device. - It is mirrored to a block device on machine 2, using geom_mirror and ggatec/ggated - Machine 2 mounts this filesystem read only.
My question is: is this last step safe? When an update occurs on machine 1, certain disk blocks will change "under the nose" of machine 2's mounts. Will all necessary caches be invalidated? (e.g. block caches, inode caches) Or could this result in nasty behaviour, up to and including panics? If so, is there a safer or better way of performing real-time filesystem replication? Thanks, Brian Candler. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
