Greetings! It occures to me that if GFS has lots of problems with file size then perhaps why not concider using somthing like AFS which I believe was made by IBM who has put a lot into the Xen project and might have made it to work with xen...or use qlusters which although isnt free from my understanding the company was made by Moshi Bar the lead designer of Xen, OpenMosix, Qlusters. Just a thought sorry if my ignorance on the matter is showing after all there is a good chance somthing I dont understand on this matter might make these not a viable resonable alternative. I would like to hear some responses though! Regards, Steven Anderson --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Aside from GFS there''s, AFAIK, only OCFS2 that works with distributed locking. If someone knows other fs''s that support distributed locking, I''d appreciate a hint on it :o) Cheers, Michael -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Mey Thinking Objects Software GmbH | mailto: michael.mey@to.com Lilienthalstrasse 2/1 | phone: +49 711 88770-147 70825 Stuttgart-Korntal, Germany | fax: +49 711 88770-449 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
GPFS fits Perfect into that area. AFS works under xen , with a 2 line patch, just browse the openafs ML Sven Michael Mey <michael.mey@to.com> Sent by: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com 11/23/05 05:12 PM To xen-users@lists.xensource.com cc Steven Anderson <hikenboot@yahoo.com> Subject Re: [Xen-users] Debian, Xen and CLUSTER / GFS Support Hi Steve, On Wednesday 23 November 2005 14:56, Steven Anderson wrote:> Greetings! > > It occures to me that if GFS has lots of problems with file size then > perhaps why not concider using somthing like AFS which I believe wasmade> by IBM who has put a lot into the Xen project and might have made it toAFAIK about AFS, it is a little bit too oversized for my targets, besides, I need some cluster fs that supports distributed locking so no locking server etc. is additionaly needed.

But it seems it does not support some kind of cluster wide lvm mechanism. And GPFS is not free. It eats up considerable amounts of a well fed budget, I am afraid.>AFS works under xen , with a 2 line patch, just browse the openafs ML > >But AFS does no distributed locking, as far as I know? Anyone out there having experience with AFS? Dirk _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
