Hi. Thanks for writing back. Yeah, not exactly what I wanted to hear, but I understand that it's probable the smarter thing to do. It's just that nfs is so convenient in my situation and I just think it should work. I'm building redendant web servers. Basically a centralized filesystem with web server surrounding it. The access logs do well on the shared volume incase another server has to take over for a failed system.

One thing that I'm not sure I mentioned is that if I chown the access_logs to the httpd user, it works fine, which is what confuses me. It's almost as if nfs is somehow blocking writes to root owned files. Actually I have no idea since I'm no where near a developer.
Thanks for the help. Feel free to let me know about anything I could possible do to resolve this. I'd would still *like* to do things as planned.
