We run three MOSIX (not OpenMosix, though) clusters where all users' home directories are on AFS and all logins are handled via AFS. Our MOSIX clusters consist of a head node that the users log on to and a number of diskless slave nodes that act merely as spare computing resources for the head node. The MOSIX traffic is always on a private internal network with no visibility to/from the real world, so the slave nodes have no idea of AFS. Users start all jobs on the head node and MOSIX takes care of distributing them across the nodes. When the jobs need to do I/O they migrate back to the head node. (Yes, this is a bottleneck.) We haven't had any problems that I could pinpoint to interactions between MOSIX and AFS. What kind of failures have been reported? -- Atro Tossavainen (Mr.) / The Institute of Biotechnology at Systems Analyst, Techno-Amish & / the University of Helsinki, Finland, +358-9-19158939 UNIX Dinosaur / employs me, but my opinions are my own. < URL : http : / / www . helsinki . fi / %7E atossava / > NO FILE ATTACHMENTS _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
