Hi,

 We have one network file server (A), where I installed EPICS and its

extensions in /data/programs/epics/{base,extensions}. In A, EPICS_BASE

is /data/programs/epics/base.

 We mount the directory as /mnt/glusterfs on a local Linux PC (B),

all uid and gid is the same. In B, EPICS_BASE is

/mnt/glusterfs/programs/epics/base.

 The main issue which I've found until now (maybe something more

hidden issues, because I didn't test it fully) on softIOC, which has the

Compiled-in path inside the binaray files. Just shortly look at Makefile

and softMain.cpp, and makeInstallDir.pl, the EPICS path is saved into

the binary file when it compiles.

 I know how to work around this issue by using softIOC -D option.

However, I know EPICS community has the better solution, any

suggestions, or potential issues which I don't know right now.

  Thank you,

  Han

P.S. I add three command which I execute in order to show the real react

of softIOC.

jhlee@kaffee:~$ softIoc -h
Usage: softIoc [-D softIoc.dbd] [-h] [-S] [-a ascf]
        [-m macro=value,macro2=value2] [-d file.db]
        [-x prefix] [st.cmd]
Compiled-in path to softIoc.dbd is:
        /data/programs/epics/base-3.14.12.4/dbd/softIoc.dbd

jhlee@kaffee:~$ softIoc
filename="../dbLexRoutines.c" line number=240

No such file or directory dbRead opening file

/data/programs/epics/base-3.14.12.4/dbd/softIoc.dbd

jhlee@kaffee:~$ softIoc -D

/mnt/glusterfs/programs/epics/base-3.14.12.4/dbd/softIoc.dbd
