Hello all,
I currently manage about 40 Window, OSX, and Hardened Gentoo servers. I
will soon have 12 P4 servers that were previously used as video encoders
free as well as an Apple XRaid. With all this spare hardware I thought
I'd research setting up a cluster of servers running Apache for load
balancing and high availability. I'm also looking into a MySQL cluster,
but that wouldn't require a shared filesystem. I'm wondering if anyone
has done something like this before and in particular knows a good
filesystem to use so that each of the servers can access and potentially
write to the same storage array. I've accomplished the same thing with
XServes running OSX, but they like to charge you a pretty penny for the
XSan software that allows this which I thought I'd try to avoid if
possible. So far I've seen only GFS, but haven't gotten much reading
done on it yet. Any other tips or insights would be appreciated as well.
Thanks,
Brian
