The more I look at this though, the more and more it sounds like I shouldn't use it for what I am attempting to do.

I decided awhile ago that Gluster was out. The reason being, I wanted to use my 10 machines as chunk servers and as application servers, but it appears that the chunk servers need to be dedicated to just that. That is a waste of CPU and ram in my current setup. MooseFS on the other hand, looks like I can use it in tandem with other services and it appears to be relatively easy to setup and deploy. I am starting to think that this is the option I will go with. Does anyone know what kind of throughput I can expect from MooseFS. Sounds like I should be able to get 20-50M/s, if I am running several Xen/OpenVZ instances will that be suitable for reading and writing in the virtual machines? I am hoping that it won't cause too much slowing. -- Dallin Jones www.dallinjones.com /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
