I currently work at an ISP in central california. My question is this.... I currently am using a heavy duty freebsd box as a poor mans net app (basically a central file server that other servers feed off). I have NFS all set up, and systems in place to use the storage. I guess my question is this... a concern a guy brought up, was freebsd+nfs+file locking. Supposedly not too many implementations of NFS support file locking, or support it well. I basically plan on having all data (mail/account info, etc) on the main storage unit... and have mail/web/shell/accounting servers "feeding" off of it. I just wanna prevent data loss from occuring. Is anyone using freebsd in a similar manner, and if so, has anyone seen any odd file behavior? This system is a: pIII 900 160gb raid array 1g ram running freebsd 4.3beta (thanks to cvs up) =) Thanks sooo much in advance, Weston Weems To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
