No. If the fileserver (box A) goes down, none of the files/volumes
there are available.

Yes, but the RO volume will need to be on a second fileserver (box C) in
order to be available if box A goes down. If you create a RO volume on
the same machine, that will help if you loose the partition that holds
the RW volume, but won't help if the whole thing crashes.

Thanks for your reply. I'm still not sure how I get round the problem for
box B writing its logs to /asf/logs/auth if box A goes down though?
