Hello, I'm trying to export Samba shares that access a PVFS2 (http://www.pvfs.org/pvfs2)-mounted partition. PVFS2 is a parallel, distributed file system for Linux clusters. PVFS2 gets mounted like any other partition and it offers non-POSIX file semantics similar to NFS. We can use standard shell commands (mv, ls, cp, etc.) to read and write files on the...

Hello, I was wondering if I can use PVFS with Red Hat 7.2.......how does it exactly work......Please do not refer me to the official website...I know it exists.....!!! But I want to know how does it work with Ext 3....how do I set it up in my cluster?? Has anyone else used it before.....If you need further details I will be more than gl...

I came across this www.gluster.org Has any one tried it . Is it a true parallel file system allowing concurrent read and write to a file by many processes. Will it be suitable for HPC applications. -- Regards-- Rishi Pathak -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hello, are there any experiences with samba as a _really_ fast server? Assuming if the filesystem and network is fast enough, has anyone managed to get a throughput in samba of of let's say 300 MB/s ? Are there any benchmarks? regards, Martin

hi, we've a few 10-20 server in a lan each has 4-8 hdd. we'd like to create one big file server on these server hard disks and we'd like to create it in a redundant way ie: - if one (or more) of the hdd or server fails the whole filesystem still usable and consistent. - any server in this farm can see the same storage/filesystem. it's someting a big network raid5-6... storage where

Hi all, I plan to run a dovecot IMAPS and POPS service on our network. We handle about 3 000 mailboxes. I thought first buying a topnotch server (8 cores and 16 Go RAM) with equalogic iSCSI SAN SAS 15K for storage backend. On second though (and after a comprhensive read of dovecot features), I saw in http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation that index files can be created on a separete local

Dear ext3-users, I write scientific number-crunching codes which deal with large input and output files (Gb, tens of Gb, as much as hundreds of Gygabytes on occasions). Now there are these multi-core setups like Intel Core 2 Duo becoming available at a low cost. Disk I/O is one of the biggest bottlenecks. I would very much like to put to use the multiple processors to read or write in parallel

Dear Sirs and Madams, I run a small visual effects production company, Hammerhead Productions. We'd like to have an easily extensible inexpensive relatively high-performance storage network using open-source components. I was hoping that OCFS2 would be that system. I have a half-dozen 2 TB fileservers I'd like the rest of the network to see as a single 12 TB disk, with the aggregate
