I'm planning to eventually operate a 20+ node cluster of Debian boxes (2-4 cores AMD64, 8 GByte RAM, about 1-2 TByte RAID 1, 4x GBit Ether interfaces, probably with jumbo frames) with a unified filestore.
A few questions I've been unable to answer by searching: Can I make Linux vserver guests fs live on PVFS2? If I don't use unification http://linux-vserver.org/Frequently_Asked_Questions#Unification ? How much aggregate throughput can I expect with some 20 nodes, with a modern 7 krpm SATA drive (RAID 1 pair, about 80 MByte/s sustainable throughput, or so)? Is there a way to set up PVFS2 to tolerate 1-2 node losses on above 20-node assembly, and how much of the raw storage would I lose that way?
