Hello, What about coda or AFS network file systems. If you dont need synchronous locked file access i consider this much better than the hardware you will need for SAN filesystems.
BTW: iSCSI is also SPOF unless you have NAS Systems which support failover. But in that case you could use NFS (2 NetApp Filers for example).

I'm looking at getting some sort of shared storage with a GFS-style filesystem on top of it, so I have no single point of failure or bottleneck like I would using NFS (and have suffered from so far) - is OCFS2 stable? Does it make much sense to use for this? Right now I have 4 web nodes. Eventually that could grow to 20, who knows, maybe more. I'd love to use Coraid's ATA-over-Ethernet storage as well. Perhaps it does not properly support the semantics required by OCFS2 though (see this thread[1] saying that it doesn't allow for multi-path I/O which I believe OCFS2 would require?) iSCSI would be the next option, just have to find good pricing on that. The assumption is redundancy and scaling would be handled by the hardware (so there would be no SPOF or performance bottleneck there to have to rely on software to fix) Thanks for any info - mike [1] http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2005-November/014509.html _______________________________________________ Ocfs2-users mailing list [email protected] http://oss.oracle.com/mailman/listinfo/ocfs2-users _______________________________________________ Ocfs2-users mailing list [email protected] http://oss.oracle.com/mailman/listinfo/ocfs2-users
