Interesting...
According to the white papers at their web site it is
not yet certified w/Oracle (they are working on it).
Appears to have been originally developed for some
massive NASA requirement (this is a hunch after
reading their white papers and having some experience
with NASA) like storing satelite data.
I wouldn't think the locking mechanisms touted by GFS
would bennefit Oracle as Oracle already implements
it's own locking scheme. You would simply be using the
shared filesystem. Could probable get similar results
with any old NAS solution.
Anyway, this is what I gather from reading the white
papers. Don't have any direct experience with it. Just
lots of OPS/RAC experience on more traditional
systems.

Sistina? Raw? Cluster File Systems? :-)

Anyone using Sistina GFS for Oracle 9i RAC
implementations? It obviates the
need for raw, has a volume manager, and provides
direct I/O support. Can't
find any info on Metalink/OTN. Looks intriguing for
RAC on Linux and there's
no mention from the Oracle propagandists?
