[CentOS] distributed storage/home-made cloud recommendations
Hello listmates, This is not specifically CentOS-related - though I will probably execute this design on CentOS if I decide to do so. It will certainly be some kind of Linux. At any rate, here's my situation. I would like to build a fairly large storage solution (let us say, 100 TB). I want this solution to be distributed and redundant. I want to be able to lose part of the machines involved and still stay operational (the bigger part, the better). I would prefer to avoid having to buy large servers to accomplish this task. What I am soliciting here is thoughts, reports from experience, recommendations, etc. Thanks in advance.

Depending on what you are trying to do and what the most desirable goal might be, I'll be happy to help build a process for that. Thanks for the warm welcome and quick response! Have fun at FOSDEM, unfortunately I don't think anyone from OLPC will be there. I guess you're referring to the install DVD(s) here - which include the entire contents of the mirror, makes sense. In this case I think we want something more akin the minimal install CD - a specific subset of the packages available, plus installer. Could you point me towards the scripts used to build that? To answer your question about the most desirable goal, I guess it is something like this: we provide a kickstart file that lists the CentOS repos and our own repo, with the base and core package groups selected (plus our own packages listed too), and then we use a tool to then download all the required packages (but no more), and compose them onto an anaconda-based install CD. I guess I have just described pungi there - and maybe that is our answer. But I have yet to find a report of someone using pungi to rebuild C6, and pungi is not included in RHEL/CentOS and isn't in EPEL either. I'd welcome your input on the best way to achieve this.

So how can I tell linux to NOT include that when installing? snip You can try disabling USB disk support in the bios. Right, but I can't make such settings permanent, as I need to boot from a USB disk from time to time, thus, entering BIOS and changing settings costs more than unplugging stuff . An aspect of the problem w/ that behaviour change introduced w/ recent kernel updates, is that some mount mapping tables (fstab for instance) are broken if they rely on mount order (sda, hda, etc.) instead of device ID or label. Regards, This seems to be BIOS dependent. I use an external USB hard disk as my portable computer. On my personal laptop the external drive shows up as /dev/sdb even if I boot from the external. If I recall correctly, it's /dev/sda on my work laptop. Doing mounts using UUIDs means everything just works regardless of drive lettering. Bottom line is play with the BIOS settings. You may find a combination that gets you the right drive letters and lets you boot from the USB when you need to. On the other hand, my personal laptop BIOS forgets about the boot from external USB drive if I boot with the drive not present. I have to go into the BIOS and reset to boot from external the next time I try to use it. Cheers, Dave ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I have looked into glusterfs and I like it too. I just haven't found the hardware to try it on. I tested it on 4 VMs.. The performance was crap as expected, but wanted to see how it behaves when I suddenly remove a node from the setup and so on. (it went well, the setup froze for a second but after that kept working at normal parameters) What is RAID0+1? The flat RAID with one parity disk? No, I should've rephrased this, I meant the likes of raid10, of course, in Glusterfs speak. Basically I had 2 pairs of replicated nodes and files stripped across all this. I even ran a VM on top of this VM based glusterfs setup.. not the speediest VM, but was usable. :-) -- Nux! www.nux.ro ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
