Hi Rick, I have read your response, thank you for that information. I have two other questions. Does NFS on FBSD support read-only mounts? In practice I have seen some posts that claim it does not function properly or mounts are found in 'rw' mode, but docs clearly read how the configuration should be written. Also is NFS usable for production env? Thank you. -----Original Message----- From: Rick Macklem <rmacklem@uoguelph.ca> To: oscaruser@programmer.net Cc: freebsd-fs@freebsd.org Sent: Wed, Mar 24, 2010 5:59 pm Subject: Re: NFS Read Only Mount & NFS-failover On Mon, 22 Mar 2010, oscaruser@programmer.net wrote: > Folks, > > Apparently Solaris has a mechanism for NFS failover, and is described in the > below URL reference.
