IIRC samba can share a coda filesystem. > This looks interesting! I have been asked to set up a mail server with a hot backup which could take over should the first server fail. Does anyone have any "real-world" experience using coda for this type of problem? Does coda even fit this problem? It is described as a replicated network file system. That tells me that data would be kept safe by replication, but there may still be a single point of failure, namely the mail server itself which is simply making use of the file system. Any comments?
