Re: Keeping files in sync across machine

["Differentiated Software Solutions Pvt. Ltd." <diffs@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've considered this possibility.
I don't have much experience in mounting file systems across machines.
My worry is that
a) Can we rely on the mount, given the fact that the machines may be in
geographically different locations, like one machine in US and the other in
India.
b) How would the performance be of the file write in this case.

Other than network mount is there any other method, utility that can do the
job.

Bye,

Murali
