Are there still issues with the version of fluster we upgraded to recently? It's still not usable for MySQL, but I haven't heard reports of bugs otherwise.
Aside from the known issues with MySQL I've not seen any issues with gluster on project storage. On 14/09/2012 08:24, Petr Bena wrote:
Actually, there are issues with gluster which isn't much better, so any alternative to gluster or nfs would be nice
While there are issues with gluster (such as the mysql ones) it's at least redundant and not going to run out of space rapidly. Ceph would be really awesome to try, but as far as I know it's not had any wide spread usage with open feedback/stats on performance. Aside from the nfs instance being rather hammered on cpu/sluggish (which will probably only get worse as more people use it), if it dies then logins are broken for everyone. I wouldn't be surprised if there is still 'production' stuff running from there rather than project storage, combined with work-in-progress stuff hovering around people's home dirs it's potentially a mess and a chunk of lost data/time/effort. Yes people should take backups, use version control etc, but I think we should at least attempt to provide redundancy where possible (gluster) and minimize impact for end users when things break (which is going to happen at some point, especially when people are involved). Things breaking/disappearing/being slow just makes people go elsewhere, which breaks the community up and drives everything in the opposite direction to where it should be heading. Just my 2ยข.
