Hi,
I have a question for Andy or people with similar configuration. We currently
have 3 database servers all located in the same computer room. Our cell cross
couple of buildings. The problem is if the network go down, the users can not
use AFS. We are now thinking about distribute the datbase servers out to
different building. One plan is to move one dabase sever out to another
building has critical project need AFS access all the time.
building 1 building 2

1 DB & file server -----| backbone |------ 2 DB & file servers

My question is if the network between building 1 and building 2 goes down
will the people in building 1 still be able to access files store on the
file server in building 1? Is there anybody has experienced network going
down and AFS is still able to work? Will the users in building 1 face the
quorum problem for 1 is not the majority of 3 and not able to use AFS?
Thanks.
