Wow that subject line was a mouthful! OK back to the question... we are trying to setup a highly available ActiveMQ implementation. Reading over what I've read on ActiveMQ's website, I think I can accomplish this best using a shared filesystem approach.
We have a pair of Windows SQL servers that are clustered together (for HA), and this would be a perfect place to also host the share for ActiveMQ. Getting to the crux of my question: has anyone used a Windows file share as the shared filesystem and mounted that via Samba CIFS from several boxes running ActiveMQ brokers (with the appropriate configuration applied of course)? I know the biggest concern is if flock() is implemented correctly everywhere... Thanks, Eric http://nixwizard.net
