Hi

We are expanding at work and I am messing around with different setups.

I need a file system that will *look* like its just on one machine,
like when mounting with NFS, but because of the large amount of data,
I really need to expand the files to several servers.

Well, that sounds like AFS. Check out OpenAFS and Arla - Arla is
just a client, not the server. OpenAFS does both, but may not
handle the most recent FreeBSD versions. I haven't kept up lately.

Also, you might want to check out ZFS and see if it suits your
needs. I understand it will be available in FreeBSD in 7.xx.
It comes from SUN.


Also I need some kind of security.

AFS does authentication and has ACLs.

I haven't set something like this up before so all kind of friendly
advice would be greatly appriciated. What solution is recommended?

Best regards
Rico
