Of course all the servers in a failover group have to provide the same home directories (via NFS, usually). This is standard unix practice and has nothing to do with the SRS software. So, the home is not replicated. It is simply always the same home. regards, Meik -- Meik Hellmund Mathematisches Institut, Uni Leipzig e-mail: meik.hellm...@math.uni-leipzig.de _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list SunRay-Users@filibeto.org http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
