It's very stable. Most of the scientific labs in the world use it, as do a number of the major financial houses. Wrt quick: it depends more on your balance of R/O to R/W use, and the latency of the networks it runs over. If you have a lot of R/W, AFS doesn't do so well due to the dual commit nature of how the cache manager works. If you have read-mostly traffic, then AFS should work fine. AFS also works like a champ over real hipersockets; it's a good app for that style of networking. > 2) if not, should I go for ocfs or gfs? pros and cons? If it's specifically Oracle you're dealing with, then ocfs is more likely to be supported and understood if you call in a problem to Oracle support. GFS probably has more users by virtue of being out there longer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
