Thanks for your information John! It's very detailed.
I feel I rather unsatisfied with the result now. It's said (in many
articles) that Coda is better than NFS, especially in replication, and
directory naming consistency. Yeah, what a world.
May be I should start setting up NFS now.
BTW John, may I ask you some questions? Do you use your NFS for database
application (along with LVS)? I'm planning to set up a distributed
filesystem (whatever it will be) as MySQL back-end for LVS-ed Apache
servers. AFAIK, NFS having difficulty in directory naming consistency.
Is it an obstacle for your case?
Thank you!
