Hello,
you could use OCFS2 for it, however you will need to
reconfigure your storage: The Disks must be available to all Servers (in a SAN
for example). You could maybe do something with network devices (iSCSI) but I
guess thats not the perfect throughput.
The question is if your clients who access the file will
directly be part of the OCFS2 cluster (direct access to the SAN which is fast
but expensve), or if you have a limited number of OCFS2 nodes exorting a network
filesystem like NFS or (maybe) samba to your workstations.
Gruss

Subject: [Ocfs2-users] Newbie questions -- is OCFS2 what I even want?
I run a small visual effects production company, Hammerhead Productions.
We'd like to have an easily extensible inexpensive relatively high-performance
storage network using open-source components. I was hoping that OCFS2
would be that system.
I have a half-dozen 2 TB fileservers I'd like the rest of the network to see
as a single 12 TB disk, with the aggregate throughput of the six servers
serving some 50 compute nodes on the network.
Is this what OCFS2 is for, or not? My guess is that it isn't, but I'm having
a hard time parsing the documentation. If it isn't what OCFS2 is for, what
am I looking for?
Thanks,
Thad Beier
