RE: [gentoo-dev] NFS Support?

[Thomas Landmann]

Everything is working here now, but I guess I'll have to play with the
OpenAFS stuff too!! :-)

My main motive in getting the file server working was to support "Emptytree
Seedy":

http://emptytreeSeedy.sourceforge.net/

Which, BTW, is VERY cool.

"Emptytree Seedy is a digital audio ripping, encoding and listening system.
It is designed to operate in a multi-host, automatic and batch manner to
simplify the encoding of an entire CD collection. Network operation is fault
tolerant. When a host goes offline any pending encode work will be
transferred to other hosts in the system. When a host comes online it can
dynamically join the system and start ripping and encoding as need be.
Operation can be controlled from any host."

I can put an audio CD in ANY cd-rom drive on my network and it is
automatically ripped to the common file server and all machines immediately
begin mp3 encoding the tracks.  Very nice.

Thanks much for the comments and info!

Tom
