X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 06 Oct 2005 01:12:35 -0000 Can the files that back an md device be resident on an nfs mount? I run some jails with each having its own root based on an md device. I am thinking of having a backend nfs server have all the storage and serve it to various front end servers. If one front end server went down I could easily bring it up on another one.
