Xavier, I have thought about using DRBD for this purpose. And others have written about this. (see Building Highly Available LTSP Clusters) http://republico.estv.ipv.pt/~nmct/ltsp/ha/ltsp-ha-howto-en-gpl.html DRBD is essentially RSYNC of two drives across a network. I have thought that making

May be tsync is what you want. http://tsyncd.sf.net Tsync is a user-level daemon that provides transparent synchronization for one or more data volumes (directory trees) amongst a set of computers. Tsync uses a peer-to-peer architecture for scalability, efficiency, and robustness, which ensures

David, I don't know where authd is hosted, but you could rebuild the authd source RPM after downloading it from Fedora's mirrors. IIRC, authd plugs into xinetd. No, I'm not using transparent proxy mode. Instead, I firewall the forwarding of certain ports including 80 and 443. To make things

We use AFS/Lustre for that purpose. If you just wish to Sync - look at DRBD. However that would leave one of the servers as read-only. With AFS you would have to host the FS separately and mount it from the servers.. On Fri, 2007-05-11 at 13:26 +0100, Ben Green wrote: > Hi all, > > Anyone any e

Hi all, Anyone any experience of shared files systems? I am looking for a system that allows two file systems to be synchronised between two servers. The files will be users home directories. There needs to be a good fail over, so that if one disappears, that's okay and there's minimal data loss.
