I wasn't sure DFS was a good fit, my understanding of DFS is limited (reading up today..).
From what I've read it seems I'd need to host the DFS root on a highly-available server, and have links from there to my three single hosts (all with shared SAN access). Unfortunately, I only have these three servers to work with. Is there a way I can use DFS with just the three nodes to create a highly available DFS configuration? Sorry if my terminology is off a little, I'm pretty new to DFS. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ John Delisle | Business Analyst | Ceridian Canada Ltd. | ceridian.ca 400 ? 125 Garry Street | Winnipeg, MB R3C 3P2 | p: 204-975-5909 | [email protected] Chris Weiss <[email protected]> 2010/10/19 12:55 PM To [email protected], samba <[email protected]> cc Subject Re: [Samba] Highly-available file server question..
