realtime network replication

Hi, The following configuration seems to do what you ask for: Two NFS servers, each of them provides access to a huge equal-sized file-container. Third server mounts directories with files-containers from the prevoius two servers. GEOM RAID1 mirroring is used on the third server to create a /home filesystem backed by two huge file-containers. You will have a copy of your /home inside the GEOM file-container on each of the two servers. You will get realtime data replication. Drop a note if the performance of such configuration is acceptable :) Best regards, EforeZZ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Maybe the best option for you would be http://www.furquim.org/chironfs/index.en.html used in combination with NFS.

I don't want to use rsync because its not realtime. Yeah, your problem description is clear enough. If you want true redundancy and the data available from both machines, you're talking about more of a clustered filesystem like Veritas CFS or maybe Andrew FS / DFS from Transarc. However, you might also find something like /usr/ports/net/unison a reasonable alternative: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: realtime network replication
Ideally geom would have been perfect, except we cant have more than one host writing to the mirror. -Original Message- From: Chuck Swiger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: November 17, 2008 8:28 PM To: Ansar Mohammed Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: realtime network replication On Nov 17, 2008, at 5:25 PM, Ansar Mohammed wrote: I need to replicate /home between two freebsd servers in real time (no scheduled rsyncs) What are my options?

You might have to wait until DragonflyBSD has clustering capabilities. It is quickly moving towards that goal.
