As one of my colleagues pointed out, this is a job for NSS! With an NSS-resident /usr, everyone would get it read-only. The "owner" Linux instance would define a new NSS when needed, fill it with current content, and then 'saveseg', at which point all in-use copies would go CLASS P and be purg

Phil, Others have already explained that for simple sharing of minidisks, _all_ systems need to have the file system mounted read-only. I just wanted to point out that NFS, as well as [Open]GFS can be used if you need read-write access by any system. I believe AFS could be used in the same way.

FYI, and maybe you know this, Microsoft bought Connectix a few months ago, and the product is now called Microsoft Virtual PC. Connectix also developed an 'enterprise' level virtualization product called Virtual Server which runs on Intel, and which is designed to compete with VMWare ESX. Microsof

Has anyone any experience of sharing /usr using vm? I want to try and use this on our increasing number of production SuSE platforms. I have tried an experiment and all went well but I noticed that any update made on the owning system was not propagated to the sharing systems. I presume this is b
