Both. If one of the linux servers where hylafax is running goes down,
or even if only hylafax goes down in one of them, the faxes on that
server will be moved to the other server while the first is down.
When the server goes up again, it will process only the remaining
faxes on its queue (the faxes will be moved several at a time, not all
at the same time).  For this I need the queue of the stopped server to
be available from the other server, so the first option were to put
the queue on a shared storage, but the storage supplied by my client
is a windows share :-(

Is there any documentation on this?  Could it be possible to have it
always owned by the same user and group and have it 777 as
permissions so it can be set when mounting the share?

That's one of the alternatives I'm considering.


Thanks.
