> What exactly are you trying to accomplish? I have 4 servers that each have a second harddrive. I thought that if I did a 4 way share that all reads could be done locally and only writes done over the network to increase performance and reliability as then each of the 4 servers have a full local copy of all the data.

This looks like what I'm probably going to have to do as well but I was trying to avoid both dedicated storage nodes as well as having the storage node potentionally becoming the bottleneck. _______________________________________________ Ocfs2-users mailing list [email protected] http://oss.oracle.com/mailman/listinfo/ocfs2-users
