[gentoo-user] Big data Cluster

2005-07-16 Thread David Busby
I'm looking for reccomendations for storage clustering.  I'd like to network together some Gentoo boxes which internally 
are SCSI+RAID5 and then be able to store data on these multiple boxes as though they are one big filesystem.  Similar to 
what Isilon does but with Gentoo.  I've been reading the web sites about the stuff in /usr/portage/sys-fs/ but I cannot 
tell which package is going to give me the right stuff.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

try http://evms.sourceforge.net/
sys-fs/evms

The idea is an evolution of the one of lvm

You also might be interested in sys-fs/gfs.  Also, you might try the 
gentoo-cluster mailing list.
