It is an intentionally vague description since I want to keep an open mind.
This needs to run on linux, both clients and servers. Right now I am dealing with an older HA linux setup with NFS. It seems to be having problems and there have been some ugly and expensive application failures. I am looking for a solution that will be a lot more reliable and robust. I am just starting my search for a replacement. The first things that come to mind are GPFS, GFS2 and GlusterFS. I am expecting that GFS2 will require mounting remote drives via iSCSI that are mirrored. I'm not sure exactly how the resync would occur after a failure, I could use some insight. I have a call scheduled with the Gluster folks to discuss how to do it with GlusterFS, I do know that it supports mirroring on the client end. I have never done a GPFS setup and haven't even touched a GPFS setup in many years. AFS isn't an option, the Kerberos and ticketing infrastructure isn't feasible to implement here. I have already suggested buying a NAS setup, but was shot down. What other solutions should I be looking at? -- Matt It's not what I know that counts. It's what I can remember in time to use. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
