I have two SGI's sitting here with 8 gigabytes of disk between the
two. Since the four FreeBSD machines (with the possibility of two
more coming in the summer) all run identical snapshots and XFree86, I
thought it would be more economical to have the /usr/{include,local,
share,src,X11R6} hierarchies served from one of the SGI. The rest of
/usr, /var, /etc, and so on would of course be on local disks. Truly
machine-specific files (like the X server binary, or the xdm config
file) would be replaced by a link to the file in /etc.
Are there any caveats I should beware of when moving such a large
portion of the filesystem to an NFS server? Or should I wimp out and
use an rdist to synchronize the machines whenever I add/modify files?
