Thanks, but Gbe is TOO SLOW for Hi Def. 2Gbit FC is the minimum. I have
actually been talking to 10Gbit Infiniband vendors about using nfs or smb
over "IP over Infiniband", but Infinibad isn't really designed to work
like that. To do Hi Def we need a minimum of 150MBytes (~1500Mbits) for
h.don't do it! FC is the most expensive way to doing this
possible short of a proprietary solution.
You REALLY want iscsi and that runs over el'cheapo gbe cards.just get an
el'cheapo copper gbe switch and use that ONLY for iscsi and you will get
performance approaching FC for a

Brian,
Thanks for the info.
I guess my question is poorly formed, because everyone keeps telling me
what FC is. I know that part.
I think I have answered my question with this Mayastor software.
Right now I don't have any FC hardware and that is why I didn't mention
any brands.
Basically I wa

That sounds great for small devices, but much less useful when
you consider the size limits of the filesystem, and the use, in

okbasically the gist as I understand is that an FC array once configured
with the HBA utilities looks like a SCSI driveVERY similar to a SCSI
RAID array. The key is the HBA utilities that it lets you carve up the array
into LUNs (logical units) that then can be assigned to drive pointers or

I understand how Fibre Channel works and the cost involved with buying the
HBAs and switch. What I am trying to get information on is can I use my
existing Linux file server, put a Fibre Channel HBA in it and share disks
out to other systems on the Fibre Channel SAN?

I have a few suggestions:
1.Take a look at JNI, they've got a series of new boxes that use
SerialATA (SATA) but present a FC interface for the box. That way the drives
don't eat you out of house and home.

Hi Dusty,
I have setup many systems with FiberChannel and GigE networks (mainly
FreeBSD).
There is really not much to it other than installing the Fiber/GigE NIC in
your server. Before you buy
a NIC it would be a good idea to make sure the drivers for the NIC exist for
Linux. I don't know what typ

Not much help. We are usually forced into on-line ordering parts and

You can't go wrong with FAT. If you need more advanced semantics, you
may want to go in a different direction. In any case, I believe all of
those support the "VFAT" stuff or whatever it was called... Long file

mostly works on
vfat seems like the lowest common denominator...

Aloha,
Are there any filesystems that work on Linux, OSX, and Windows? I am
thinking that XFS must work on Windows, but I can't find anything for it.
I know SGI has CXFS clients for Windows, Linux, and OSX, but I think that
is VERY expensive.
Basically I have a few external firewire harddrives

I am trying to find out if it is possible to put a Fibre Channel card in
my Linux File Server and start sharing disk space over 2Gb fibre Channel.
Does anyone have any knowledge of doing this?
Thanks,

HAM oriented shops are kinda slim pickin's that I've seen...Honolulu
Electronics used to stock alot of stuff, but not much more than antennas and
a few odd bits.
I'll go dig around, there used to be a big HAM community at the UH campus
and there are quite a few repeaters all through the islands.
