I'm curious as to whether you can use AFS volumes for the storage locations
of services like openldap, mysql and postgresql. All three use database
files which are held open for long periods of time and normally would require
large amounts of local storage.
It depends. As far as I know, all those daemons use backends which are
based on Berkeley DB or something like that. To function properly, they
need byte-range-locking on their files. AFS does not support that kind
of locks. You might lose data.
You might try to use large files via loop-back mounts. But I think AFS
is just not designed for that kind of application.
