link directory across server

Hi All,

I have directory "A" on server "1".
I also have directory "B" on Server "2"

I need to link these 2 directories "A" and "B" which are across servers.
Is it possible?
If so, can somebody help me on this?

Thanks in advance.

Do you mean "link" as in "synchronize"? Or "link" like the ln command does?

you may export the directory per nfs on server a, and mount it on server b under the same path

or you export a directory an a third server, and mount it on server a and server b


also it's possible to set symlinks on nfs directories

like
Code:
mount serverc:/local/dir1 /nfs/dir1

ln -s /nfs/dir1 /local/dir1
