required that you buy their storage. Also the licensing of
GPFS was based on the quantity of storage, which I didn't like.
HP's version of Lustre (SFS) is also capacity-licensed
(and I agree, it's a customer-hostile policy.)
Yes, I was aware of this as well. I just blanked on it in
my first email.
I really don't seem many people discussing the good and bad things
about the current crop of distributed/shared filesystems. Do
they sign a contract saying they can disclose any information about
their operation?
well, if you spend significant money on a commercial product,
and are using/depending on it, it's not attractive to embarass
the vendor in public.
IBM GPFS
Ibrix
Isilon
Terrascale
Netapp
(Did I forget some).
Lustre/SFS and Redhat GFS, certainly.
Sorry, of course Lustre should have been on this list.
Does GFS work in distributed mode? I didn't add it
to the list because since it is a shared filesystem
(multiple clients access the block devices directly)
I didn't include it. If we include GFS, then we
also have to include at least SGI CXFS and ADIC StorNext.
