Subject: NFSv4 high availability setups
Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2012 12:31:24 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120405103124.GV4752@ics.muni.cz> (raw)

Hi,

we got several front-ends for a shared storage. We want to build HA setup so
that failed front-end fails over to another front-end (that is serving NFSv4
already). 

As I understand, NFS4 uses state dir somewhere in /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs.

Can we put this state dir on a shared volume so that this state dir is common
for all the front-ends serving the same content? Is is supposed to work and
NFSv4 can merge its state with existing state on a shared disk?
