Multiple access requires that the FS be able to operate on zones, and the zone locks be mandatorily enforced, rather than advisory. The GFS does this by running a daemon, and praying for the next revision of the SCSI standard so it won't have to run the daemon. Now NFS supports multiple host access... 8-). For FreeBSD, the option is NFS. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-fs Fri Apr 12 13:29:40 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-fs@freebsd.org Received: from dynamic.hydro.washington.edu (dynamic.hydro.washington.edu [128.95.246.166]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4DD9E37B41A for ; Fri, 12 Apr 2002 13:29:20 -0700 (PDT) Received: from dynamic.hydro.washington.edu (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by dynamic.hydro.washington.edu (8.12.2/8.12.2) with ESMTP id g3CKVbO9050504; Fri, 12 Apr 2002 13:31:37 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from penglish@hydro.washington.edu) Received: from localhost (penglish@localhost) by dynamic.hydro.washington.edu (8.12.2/8.12.2/Submit) with ESMTP id g3CKVaqs050501; Fri, 12 Apr 2002 13:31:36 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from penglish@hydro.washington.edu) X-Authentication-Warning: dynamic.hydro.washington.edu: penglish owned process doing -bs Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2002 13:31:36 -0700 (PDT) From: Paul English To: Terry Lambert Cc: freebsd-fs@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: multiple host access In-Reply-To: <3CB635B2.E0046EE@mindspring.com> Message-ID: <20020412133119.L58932-100000@dynamic.hydro.washington.edu> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-fs@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org > Paul English wrote: > > Does the freebsd filesystem (or any of the options) support multiple host > > access?

Thanks Terry. I guess it is time to price out some gigabit equipment. :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-fs Sat Apr 13 20:48: 6 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-fs@freebsd.org Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (freefall.FreeBSD.org [216.136.204.21]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6D76237B405; Sat, 13 Apr 2002 20:48:00 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from scottl@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.11.6/8.11.6) id g3E3m0767698; Sat, 13 Apr 2002 20:48:00 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from scottl) Date: Sat, 13 Apr 2002 20:48:00 -0700 (PDT) From: Message-Id: <200204140348.g3E3m0767698@freefall.freebsd.org> To: freebsd-arch@freebsd.org, freebsd-fs@freebsd.org Subject: Universal Disk Format (UDF) filesystem for FreeBSD Sender: owner-freebsd-fs@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org All, Available from http://people.freebsd.org/~scottl/udf are patches for a UDF filesystem driver for FreeBSD. UDF is the filesystem used for packet-written CD-RW's, and is found on most commercial DVD-Video disks. These patches allow a FreeBSD 5-CURRENT system to mount read-only a disk formatted with this filesystem. Although the UDF standard also supports packet-written CD-R, these patches do not implement this functionality yet. Read-write support is also not implemented yet, but work will begin shortly on it. Patches for FreeBSD 4-STABLE are maintained by Jeroen Ruigrok and can be found at http://www.softweyr.com/asmodai/projects/udf. I encourage anyone to try these patches out and provide feedback. They are the product of a year of free-time develpment and have been tested against disks created with Roxio's DirectCD and Nero's InCD packages. I also plan to commit these patches to the FreeBSD CVS repository soon. Scott Long To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
