Alternative to NFS
Hi All,

I wanted to implement NFS on my server, which would let me separate mail/web services ,but I have Viruozzo VPS server and they only support ext2 and ext3 filesystems. In short NFS is not supported.

Is there an alternative way of setting up a network partition that I can mount to my other VPS?

RE: Alternative to NFS
Since only ext2 and ext3 are supported is there another way of sharing files between servers....that's Virtual Servers...

RE: Alternative to NFS

RE: Alternative to NFS
What about samba ?
Not really the best and secure way Rolleyes
But with your kernel - no other choice.
You can try to secure it through a VPN tunnel.
