Hi list.
I'm looking into making all of out linux boxes share files, in a fast,
secure and reliable manner, so I'm looking for a good distributed file
system. the two DFSs that every linux distro comes with do not really fit
the need, AFAIK - NFS has reliability problems, and it has the anoying
feature of imposing access premissions by uids, so the user database on
every system has to be completly identical to make any sense (I know this
can be solved by using NIS, but I tried to do that once and it was a pain I
rather live w/o. if you have any other suggestion for painlesly synching
users, I'd love to hear about it - something that you wroked with , please),
and Samba and security are two words that don't fit in the same sentence
(oops - Just did it. sorry :-).
Anyway, so I was wandering - could you make any kind of recomendation,
preferably based on personal experience, about what DFS to choose. I need it
mostly for Linux systems, but support for other unices and Win32 platforms
would be nice to.
TIA
Oded
