Ok, then, what i am looking for is a distributed filesystem (free of charge and license (GNU or so)) replication over all nodes since i am preparing a virtual mail server using keepalived and maildir system. The thing is users use imap and imaps in a load balanced environnement so every node should access the same filesystem to r/w the changes, the whole thing beeing distributed over all nodes and failover....
Anyone could please orient me ? Thanks :) On Wed, 2005-12-28 at 07:43 -0500, Andrew Bacchi wrote: > AFS does not provide a method for failover, in the strictest meaning of > the word.
