Hello Mr. Ashish, Currently I am using NFSv2 with RSYNC for replicating my shared folders on the 2 servers. But, as I was browsing through the net, I came across the latest NFSv4 and its subsequent v4.1 . What I found was, with NFSv4 there is support for features like replication and migration. Also when I did "man exports" on my server which is a fedora 8 system, it did show me something about replication, but I was unable to understand as to how actually do it.
I would really appreciate if you or anyone on the twincling community could help me in figuring out as to how to configure replication and migration on a fedora 8 or higher. I was thinking that if I could use the facilities provided by NFS, then why use the rsync for replication. I have written a script and put it on cron to auto replicate, but still I am not sure if it is the correct way to do things. regards, Dhiraj Chawla > Hello Dhiraj, > As a system admin, i'm using RSYNC for replication. please use it as > it is very fast nd reliable. > cheers > Ashish > --- In [email protected], "Dhiraj Chawla" <dhira...@...> wrote: >> >> Hi All, >> >> I wanted to know if anyone knows how to configure replication in NFSv4 >> that comes along with Fedora systems.
