My manager asked me if I could a mirror copy of our /var/mail on another system, just in case the system went down. He suggested that Windows has DFS (Distributed File System) and I said I would look into it.
Over the weekend I thought of CacheFS which comes will solaris which allows you to have a local copy of a network drive, so that it can improve the "NFS server performance and scalability by reducing server and network load.". My joy was short lived when I relaises that when the server goes down your local copy of that NFS is not accessable. I don't see why CacheFS can not work in this situation, so that if there is a local version of the file use it and not just hang....... Any thoughts or has any one got a good Solaris/OpenSolaris solution to my problem.
