Alternative to NFS

[grungy]

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?

You can try this one --> http://shfs.sourceforge.net/

Code:

shfsmount: shfs filesystem not supported by the kernel

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

rsync running regularly?

How could a mount a network partition over rsync?

I know....so, no solution for me?

well with ext2/ext3 its a bit difficult.

I would use drbd with gfs for such a setup...

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