Linux as DFS replacement with AD Integration


Hi,

At present we have a folder shared between branches (Approx 10G of data) and we're using Windows 2003 with DFS but this has had a number of issues and thus is scheduled to be replaced with a Linux solution for various reasons.

I would need a scalable system that will allow me to start off with 5 servers each having a samba? share to Windows pc's. The 5 servers though must replicate any changes made to the folder. So if server 1 received a new file, it should replicate the change to servers 2-5 etc... Ideally I would also like the shares to allow for AD based permissions.

Can anyone recommend a way forward with this? I am currently looking into GlusterFS and lsyncd as two options for the replication.

Any help/guidance would be appreciated.

Hi Dominic,
Composition of RedHat Directory Server, Samba and OpenFiler should meet your requirements.
