Re: Confusion

David,
I would say try using your setup.  CFS is based off of NFS and works
similiarly.  With CFS the slave node mounts the / filesystem but all writing
goes over the ethernet and then master writes to /.  Hopefully that helps.

OpenVPN is similiar, you'll just have to try.

BTW, when you are trying NFS you will have to add it to /cluster/lib/cfstab
for it to work properly.

As for the 2.6 kernel
