You could use iscsi, and mirror a local disk against the remote disk. Hence, at all times, the "live" filesystem is present on both servers (but it's only usable by one server at a time.) You could "zfs send" the local filesystem, on regular intervals, to the remote server. Then you've got a read-only snapshot of the filesystem which is readable on the remote server. It only needs to be read-only as long as you are planning to receive future incremental snapshots. If you needed to make the remote server read-write, you could. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
