Sorry, allow me to be dense for a moment. Does this mean that I should expect to be able to bring up any machine with the same ZFS pool and the same IP address and have it serve filehandles handed out by a previous server? Including NFS3 and 4? How about if I have to mount the filesystem on an alternate root? I don't really have a setup that I could move between machines to test this at the moment... -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
