I will try to do this, so ideally, as I understand: [A] 50% read-write volumes, 100% read-only replicas [B] the other 50% read-write volumes, 100% replicas (i.e. split the rw in half between the servers, replicate all of them on both) > > Ideally, it should work even if A goes down > > and the read-only volumes are converted to read/write. > > OpenAFS is not designed for automatic failover. Cheers, I forgot to say _by hand_. Out of curiosity - was the automatic fail-over contemplated (I know this kind of thing is not usually straight forward)?
