How can I synchronize among different computers?

2008-07-01 Thread kun niu

Dear all,

I've got a Dell md3000i storage server.
And I've got two ubuntu 8.04 servers.
Each mounts disk of the storage server successfully.
But each I make a directory on one machine.
It fails to appear on the other one.
If I umount the disk and mount it again, the directory will appear.
So here's my question:
Can I make the directory appear on the other machine within 1s or 10s?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Well, your Linux server would export the NFS directory - which would
be based on a filesystem. So you would be back to the same problem (still
mounting ext3 from two machines). Unless the MD3000i can export an NFS 
filesystem
which I don't think it can.


 Any other cluster filesystem suggestion?

I think gfs2 hits the point for me.
I've found the package on my ubuntu.
I'll dig into it.
Really appreciate all your detailed help.

 Also GFS2 is an option. Use Google for more details.
