I would love a file system that transparently replicates over several |
| 6 |
systems - say 2 - 5. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
It doesn't need to amalgamate spare in any way (as BillK requests), |
| 9 |
let's just say I just have a couple of gig on each machine that I want |
| 10 |
replicated. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I should be able to read & operate on the files on the "partition" |
| 13 |
just as normal, but when a file is saved to or deleted from any one |
| 14 |
machine the change should be replicated on all the others across the |
| 15 |
(slow) network. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Basically, the idea is that I should be able to set machines A, B & C |
| 18 |
as MX for my domain and be able to read a new message whichever |
| 19 |
machine receives it. I should be able to run all 3 machines as IMAP |
| 20 |
servers and connect to any one of them to see the same view of my |
| 21 |
messages. When the IMAP server deletes or moves a message (on, say, A) |
| 22 |
that transaction should be replicated across B & C. (But likewise if |
| 23 |
the message is moved or deleted on B then the transaction should be |
| 24 |
replicated across A & C). |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I suspect I would be optimistic if I hoped for something so |
| 27 |
sophisticated to be readily available, as I am aware that this would |
| 28 |
be problematic to implement. But do you have any suggestions? |
