Re: File system mirroring for SMTP/POP Servers

[Mario Lopez <mario@lar3d.com>]

Hi Martin,

I have being reading about AFS (OpenAFS), it looks OK, and although it is 
quite portable and it even works on Windows, we also have several FreeBSD 
servers and OpenAFS is not supported on this platform, I gues there must be 
a solution much simpler than this one.

This solution just looks ok:

But I guess there is no real implementation for this.

Thanks.
