X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 01 Mar 2004 19:03:39 -0000 --lEGEL1/lMxI0MVQ2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, I'm interested in setting up a distributed file system across two 5.2.1 machines. I wanted this to work such that the two machines had /different/ data but through the use of some software they can be ``mounted'' to provide a single large volume (almost the same way that the RAID0 works). First of all I'm not sure that this is possible -- I'm having a little trouble understanding some of the Coda terminology. If somebody could confirm/refute this I'd be interested. Secondly does anybody know which is my best bet (in general -- regardless of network concat support)? AFS ports seem to be nonexistent (bar a client) while Coda has a version 6 port (but no documentation newer than 2000 that I can see). If Coda is not able to do what I want -- does anybody know another way to do this? Thanks a lot, -lewiz. --=20 I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. --Bob Dylan, 1964. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -| msn:purple@lewiz.net | jabber:lewiz@jabber.org | url:www.lewiz.org |- --lEGEL1/lMxI0MVQ2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFAQ4kAItq0KFQv7T8RAqpcAJwLjAnvfKnaGDZhA6ScuwZIQ3e3twCgvdl/ +dDsVE/xvoEyVjHi6dyzqyM= =IHfx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --lEGEL1/lMxI0MVQ2--
