Is it safe to use multilog to send log files to an NFS mounted disk? I
want to centralize the logging of a large number of QMAIL machines (50+
hosts) to a central log server. So far it has been done using syslog
sending info to a dedicated @loghost but we are seeing loss of data at
high loads.
The only comment in the multilog docs is:
"Beware that NFS, async filesystems, and softupdates filesystems may
discard files that were not safely written to disk before an outage"
Besides this failure mode (which syslog also suffers from), and there
any other restrictions to logging over NFS with multilog?
Thanks,

p.s. Sorry if this thread has been discussed before but I haven't found any
previous discussions in any of the archives.
