Well, Samba might not be as bad as you would think. I've used samba for years, and I got very used to some of it's older limitations, but with CIFS, and the unix extensions, I recently discovered that samba was running very much like NFS does. File ownership and permissions all come across as they should (as long as the UID's and GID's on the systems match), and tools like chmod work just as they do for local drives. I wouldn't be afraid of giving samba/cifs with the unix extensions a serious try. -Jeff On Thu, 2006-02-16 at 16:28 -0500, Pierre Ancelot wrote: > I'm afraid i have to change my system, i rnu drbd/NFS/heartbeat on a > linux 2.6. > It HANGS if i ever do anything that overloads it a little and it keeps > on hanging bad, all my cluster becomes unavailable...
