Well, that sounds like AFS. Check out OpenAFS and Arla - Arla is just a client, not the server. OpenAFS does both, but may not handle the most recent FreeBSD versions. I haven't kept up lately. Also, you might want to check out ZFS and see if it suits your needs. I understand it will be available in FreeBSD in 7.xx. It comes from SUN. Also I need some kind of security. AFS does authentication and has ACLs. jerry I haven't set something like this up before so all kind of friendly advice would be greatly appriciated. What solution is recommended?

AFIK, zfs in -CURRENT can do this. -CURRENT runs fairly well[1], if you catch it at the right time. Not sure if/when the MFC is planned. There might be something in geom(8) which could do this, as well, but I do not know. [1] YMMV, obviously. The one box I have on -CURRENT is not heavily loaded and not filled with cutting-edge technology. The 12-March snapshot of 7 wouldn't have zfs, though (I think?) -- -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
