Hi Hetz,
Unless one side of the pond is read-only there will be problems with any
solution due to the latency.
I suggest that you create a local copy of the data and use inotify-tools
to trigger rsync. See example on

Subject: remote directory/partition
Hi,
Here is a theoretical question:
Lets say I have a Linux server in Israel, and I have a block of storage (lets
say iSCSI partition for this
example) in USA, and I want to mount it on my server in Israel.
iSCSI over such a long distance and with big latency (thanks to our ISP's) is a
big no no, it's too slow.
NFS is also not a good idea (here's why).
I can take this storage, format it and export it from my server in USA, but
which protocol would give me:
1. All (or almost all) functionality of a local mounted device
2. Can work with long distance latencies
3. won't "kill" the machine if the remote directory is disconnected /
"disappeared"
4. If possible - supported (either directly or using 3rd party driver) on
Windows 2008 (Linux is the main
concern, Windows is optional)
i'm not looking for FTP solution (I checked curlftpfs, which is FTP implemented
using FUSE. it's nice but
when it disconnects, the machine will have issues), and webdav (slow)
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Hetz
