[mapserver-users] mapcache and excessive NFS traffic

2014-02-20 Thread Travis Kirstine
We are running mapcache in a cluster with each tile/ webserver mounted to a
shared cache.  Periodically (~once a month) the NFS mount will lock and the
load average on the web servers will skyrocket.

Has anyone encountered something similar?

Its been a few years but I have have found that it is better to use 
samba mounts for this kind of application because they are more or less 
stateless and they will recover a connection if a server drops out and 
comes back or even just times out on an access. I wasn't using mapcache 
but I did have a server farm with multiple systems all cross mounting a 
distributed cache and NFS required numerous reboots. All those issues 
went away using samba mounts.
