For data replication just use glusterd/glusterfs. This would do the job . Running for me without trouble.

I have been looking around and I think maybe the Unison project would do the job for us. In response to AB, if possible we prefer to avoid the latency penalty for everyone. I have reconsidered using domain DFS. I think a stand-alone DFS root would be sufficient. I am interested in setting up a load-balancing Dfs share but I need clarifications regarding the selection process. Let's say I define my load balancing share like this: ln -s 'msdfs:serverindatacenter\data,msdfs:nasinremoteoffice\data' lb-data If both shares specified in the load balancing Dfs share are available, can I be sure the clients in our remote office will always be accessing their own NAS rather than the server available over the WAN? In other words is it possible they will connect to the server available with a higher latency or can I be sure they will always connect to the server directly on the LAN? Please take note the remote office is connected to the central server through a VPN. -- Ludovic Rouse-Lamarre, ing. jr Coordonnateur au support technique [email protected] Groupe XYZCivitas Inc. 4000 rue Saint-Ambroise Bureau 190 Montréal, Québec, H4C 2C7 http://www.xyzcivitas.com -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
