i hope everybody who needs to know about p4 is on the mailing list?

we're investigating the steps necessary to replace our main fileserver
'troll', with a new one.

if perforce works also over NFS (there is no reason against), it may be
possible to mount the repository remotely from the new server. Or it may
be possible to leave /proj/perforce locally on troll, but then, access
over NFS on other coli hosts would not be possible.

In any case, after file server replacement, we have to think about the
future of troll and its remaining services. troll probably needs a
reinstall.


Tschau,
