<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>Here is a theoretical question:</div><div><br></div><div>Lets say I have a Linux server in Israel, and I have a block of storage (lets say iSCSI partition for this example) in USA, and I want to mount it on my server in Israel.</div>
<div>iSCSI over such a long distance and with big latency (thanks to our ISP's) is a big no no, it's too slow. NFS is also not a good idea (<a href="http://goo.gl/vn4GM">here's why</a>).</div><div><br></div><div>
I can take this storage, format it and export it from my server in USA, but which protocol would give me:</div><div><ol><li>All (or almost all) functionality of a local mounted device</li><li>Can work with long distance latencies</li>
<li>won't "kill" the machine if the remote directory is disconnected / "disappeared"</li><li>If possible - supported (either directly or using 3rd party driver) on Windows 2008 (Linux is the main concern, Windows is optional)</li>
</ol><div>i'm not looking for FTP solution (I checked curlftpfs, which is FTP implemented using FUSE. it's nice but when it disconnects, the machine will have issues), and webdav (slow)</div><div><br></div><div>Any suggestions?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Hetz</div>
</div></div>
