I guess it comes down to: what is the best way to have live or nearly live failover of user directories?
Don't. You are kidding yourself if you think any kind of fail-over on any kind of network file system user volume is a "good thing". If you need that level of reliability then you must move to a RAID setup, unless someone like Network Appliance has something to fill in the gaps. IMHO, fail-over on a user volume is bad simply because you need to know "something" went wrong, and the user needs to be informed of possible file corruption, sooner rather than later.
Should I just automate vos release every minute and then do a vos convertROtoRW?
Again, you are trying to do something that is a "bad idea". Rodney Rodney M.
