Hi
We've just added a second DC to our domain, both DCs are Samba4

DC1 is also the s3fs file server. If that goes down then so does the file-server. IOW, we can still authenticate via DC2 but we cannot do any work!

What are my options here? Is it possible to sync the files to DC2 and use that in case of failure? Or maybe add a third box running smbd?

Cheers,
Steve
It depends on your needs. For me, I use a couple of arm plugs as PDC & BDC for authentiaction and dns etc and file serve files from elsewhere, also plugs. Where ever you serve files from, if that box goes down you lose your data/file serving capability. You can use (software or hardware) raid to provide redundancy for the disks and/or a complete backup device for full HA.
