I have this pet project, playing with the Lustre Cluster FS. Is there anything
similar to this that would run with FreeBSD as the host? ( Clients supported
would HAVE to be linux,freebsd, Win32, OSX, ideally over standard protocols
with no need for special driver).
I seem to remember that ggate, in the GEOM stack, allows for storage over
different nodes, but reading about ggate i am not sure it provides what I'm
after :
- storage over a number of nodes (few or large number).
ggate provides remote volume. simply.
- abstract view of the storage from the client's point of view ( 1 TB storage,
doesnt matter how this is setup).
yes
- dynamic sizing : add servers, storage grows.
no. you may have more remote/virtual volumes,
- resilience to node loss.
no.
as every good unix tool, doesn't do everything, it does one thing just
right, remote volumes for ggate.
use ggate with gmirror and gconcat :)
