[OpenAFS] Best AFS performance/load/hotspot monitoring?

2006-08-24 Thread Jeff Blaine
Before I reinvent a wheel I'm unaware of, I figured I'd ask. What are people using for AFS performance monitoring? Even if it's scout or afsmonitor, please respond. I would like to hear how people are using these as well (what makes the most sense to monitor for general purposes, etc). ___

Could someone please explain the fundamental differences between OpenAFS and RedHat's GFS. In reading their (RedHat's) list of features it sounds a lot like OpenAFS with changes in nomenclature. They talk about charateristics such as scalable volumes, and fail-safe replication and I'm wondering if
