I should have said that you could use a single pool/cpool and have different
pc directories on each server. then you could take advantage of pooling yet
have different servers handling different machines.
I have looked for some stats on how well GFS handles high I/O loads and
can't find anything. It says it is very good at it but has no numbers or
anything other than a sales pitch.
