I don't believe there are any. Additionally, I don't believe any of the clustered file systems would be usable for a database backend. Because the application does not know that another instance is also updating, so you would have to start only one instance at a time. So the locking overhead of a clustered filesystem isn't worth it for databases. > -- > Mark Saad > [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
