Multiple access requires that the FS be able to operate on zones, and the zone locks be mandatorily enforced, rather than advisory. The GFS does this by running a daemon, and praying for the next revision of the SCSI standard so it won't have to run the daemon. Now NFS supports multiple host access... 8-). For FreeBSD, the option is NFS. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
