hello @all
maybe stupid question but I don't know it :-)
i have two fileservers connected over a 2 mbit vpn (fs1 with rw-volume and
fs2 with a ro-instance) and mounted that on /afs/domain/vol
can I settup this that way:
my users on fs1 work with /afs/domain/vol - rw + ro - thats clear to me.
when my users on fs2 read a file it should be taken from the ro-instance on
the internal harddrive and if they change anything it is written to
fs1-rw-instance !? on my try i get only the error "readonly filesystem"
can this be done or do i have to setup a mountpoint /afs/domain/.vol (-rw)
and point the users to that directory !?
thanks for any responses to help me getting started
The typical scenario is as follows:
/afs/domain/volume is the read-only copy if it exists.
/afs/.domain/volume is always the read-write copy. <-- note the
/afs/<dot>domain This is referred to at the "dotted" path.
writing to the read-only path of /afs/domain/volume will get the error
"read-only filesystem". To write, you must use the path /afs/.domain/volume
If you are doing lots of writes, then having the volume replicated may
not be the best thing.
What is the usage model for this volume?
