We're going to be experimenting with these shortly, using a patch that
Jason Dilleman submitted to openafs-dev but updated to work with
1.4.1-rc3.
We'll have some preliminary results in a week or so. The code is
clearly
not production-ready, part of our task is figuring out how far away it
really is. With luck we can get away with just adding a new rpc and some
quick and easy stuff to the vldb service.
One of our intents is examining shadow fileservers as a disaster
recovery
mechanism; another is to allow multiple .backup volumes similar to what
the old (and current?) Network Appliance file servers do. More data
about
a week from now.
If someone can direct me to the maillist the discussion below came from
it'd be appreciated.

Now of course, if someone wants to talk about what it would take to
make these features a reality, I'd be happy to have such a

rather than here.
After questions about fail-over and redundancy, I think it might be
good to at least know it would take to be able to use "shadow
fileservers" as a means of failover.
