- Would coda have trouble with large filesystems, in the range 600Gb - 1.5Tb?
(E.g., a raid)
Nice trip.. But with a raid array sytem you soon have a little tolerance sytem no ???? Do you plan to replicate you raid storage servers ???
The reponse to your question some weeks ago would certainly have been : closer to impossible !
But the RVM for storage really depend of your fs tree ( file size...etc...)....
Have a look to recents posts....
So it's really difficult to answer....
Could be possible, but you'll certainly be soonly disturbed / limited.
You'll have to fine tune servers in the realm....
A limit you have to pay attention would be the maximum volume size for backup ( 2Gb ).
( Sure, a server replication is a way of on-line backup... )
- If I were to set up a coda server, and I was just as willing to run Free/Net/OpenBsd or linux, is there a best candidate?
I would forgive OpenBsd for conveniance....
There is no best candidate.... Every of these OS work with coda !
I remember that you have to install gnutools or lib when you'll compile on BSD series...
+ Is intermezzo dead, long live lustre? Or what?
You're not on the right place for this question....
+ What's the current energy level of coda development these days?
Who's asking that ?
The mailing lists seem quite lively, at least.
It is ! :-)
The three ones match... :-P+ Were one to choose between lustre, coda & intermezzo, can anyone give me a rough picture of the tradeoffs? My criteria are: + private use, can't pay $$$
+ disconnected use over WAN
+ replicated servers good
+ clients for Win, BSD, linux & Mac good
Mmmmm..... I've never heared about a Mac version of venus... Windows venus version is a little bit old...
Perhaps this coda/intermezzo/lustre question is a politically charged question of the sort that makes regular members of this mailing list roll their eyes in a here-we-go-again sort of way, and if so, please excuse my ignorance.
Well... http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/maillists/codalist/codalist-2003/5868.html
