OCFS2 included in 2.6.18 does not have the shared writeable mmap nor inline data nor sparse files. The first two should be useful in your use-case.
We are currently backporting all those features to el5 (2.6.18). Hopefully, we'll have something for general testing in the next month. Sunil Peter Hellman wrote:
Hi everybody. After burning way, way too much project time trying to use another cluster filesystem I have a few questions I would appreciate getting answered. I am building a mail platform that's supposed to scale up to 200k accounts. Currently around 100k accounts on different servers shall be migrated, yesterday. Setup: A SAN, ISCSI A bunch of servers doing their best to kill it with POP, some IMAP on Maildir, and postfix writing. Some auxiliary servers, some on xen doing maintenance and other minor functions. So, my questions: * Is ocfs suitable? * Will locking issues be a major concern? * Which version should I use, I will compile myself, and I need to have a xen domU kernel working, based on 2.6.18? I have found the patches at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mfasheh/ocfs2/backports/2.6.18/ * Would 2.6.18 benefit from other patches, performance and stability wise? mmap would be nice. Thank you, and have a nice day. //Peter Hellman _______________________________________________ Ocfs2-users mailing list [email protected] http://oss.oracle.com/mailman/listinfo/ocfs2-users
