A directory also has its metadata, which will be a lot harder to synchronize in run time. If you're willing to go lower than the file system, to the block device, you can take a look at DRBD (distributed replicated block device, http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/reisner/drbd/), which can synchronize a local and remove block device at run time. Coupled with the linux-ha.org software, you can have automatic failover, which sounds pretty much like what you want. I haven't used either, but I've been giving them some serious thought and reading the code, and both look quite reasonable to me. Cheers, Muli -- Muli Ben-Yehuda http://www.mulix.org
