Your mail client is broken. Please configure it to *not* send
HTML-only mail. Text-only would be much appreciated, but at
*least* send both in multipart form. Many of us do not have mail
clients capable of reading HTML mail. Many others of us, including
myself, disable HTML support in our mail clients intentionally (I
think it's actually the default setting in mine, but I'd turn it
off regardless).

We use NFS to share a Portage tree (Gentoo Linux) between multiple
servers to save disk space and CPU time (tree only has to be
updated from NFS server). We also use rsync+NFS for our backups,
and distribution of scripts and configuration files between all the
servers (cron jobs periodically copy things from an NFS share to
corresponding directories on the root filesystems). We have 10
machines in one datacenter, and 1 in a remote datacenter. They all
have at least 5 NFS shares from other machines mounted.

All of the NFS shares are on reiserfs partitions, in case that makes
any difference.

Cheers,

Why not change the default to something sensible?

Okay, probably nothing that would really interest you then. We do
use DRBD (a form of network-based RAID) between our two mail
servers along with heartbeat, each which export 5 shares, which I
presume gives high availability.
