hi, after i have moved to a new home and made some room on my servers for installation of test machines, i will be able to look at OpenSSI and lustre in the context of putting some or all of this functionality into the Gentoo distribution.
You are very welcome to help me test and evaluate the basic components of such a setup: OpenSSI for cluster failovering services (LinuxVirtualServer too?) Lustre or OpenGFS for common background filesystem present on all servers for all services (best would be inexpensive nonSAN technology like local disks which is what Lustre provides, OpenGFS works with shared scsi and/or SAN hardware i think...) Maybe looking at this all together in a more program oriented approach, like clustering apache or mysql for example, would also help and benefit the Gentoo distribution! Thanks for your interest in the software and i hope we will do some work together ;-) Alex On Thu, 2003-12-18 at 01:48, Pavlica, Nick wrote: > All, > I'm trying to find a distribution that would be > willing to add Lustre file system support (it requires > a kernel patch).
