I don't know about Samba, but Jim Fulton warns against _accessing_ Data.fs over NFS. It is a surefire way of corrupting it.
thanks for the warning.
About sharing the Data.fs between multiple Zope processes: Don't do it, it doesn't work. The Data.fs file is locked by the Zope process using it for a reason.
For load balancing like this yuo will have to go with either ZEO, or some form of XML-RPC based load balancing (ie. write your own).
i'm currently loking at eddie(http://www.eddieware.org) to do the load balancing for me. eddie can do a lot of things. one of them is redirecting request according to METHOD. so, if it's a post, i'll redirect it to one particular server. if it's a get, it goes everywhere. i would think that rsync can update data from the machine that handles post request to other machines. so, in a sense, i'm using one Data.fs, but distribute all GETs to all available servers. but i'm not quite sure of the update frequency. comments, pointers? mail me
