similar to: Samba/GPFS/GlusterFS

GlusterFs always strikes me as being "the solution" (one day...). It's had a lot of growing pains, but there have been a few on the list had success using it already. Given some time has gone by since I last asked - has anyone got any more recent experience with it and how has it worked out with particular emphasis on Dovecot maildir storage? How has version 3 worked out for

DRBD 9 on the other hand, which is the one that compares to gluster (more or less), is a whole other story. Never managed to make it work correctly either -------------- next part

Hi. The short story... Rush job, never done clustered file systems before, vlan didn't support multicast. Thus I ended up with drbd working ok between the two servers but cman / gfs2 not working, resulting in what was meant to be a drbd primary/primary cluster being a primary/secondary cluster until the vlan could be fixed with gfs only mounted on the one server. I got the single server

Hi all, Where i want to arrive: 1) having two storage server replicating partition with DRBD 2) exporting via GNBD from the primary server the drbd with GFS2 3) inporting the GNBD on some nodes and mount it with GFS2 Assuming no logical error are done in the last points logic this is the situation: Server 1: LogVol09, DRDB configured as /dev/drbd0 replicated to Server 2. DRBD seems to work

Hi everybody, I have tested CTDB+GFS2+CMAN under Debian. It works good but I do not understand some points. It is possible to run the CTDB defining it under services section in cluster.conf but running it on the second node shuts down the process at the first one. My CTDB configuration implies 2 active-active nodes. Does CTDB care if the node starts with clean_start="0" or

Taking a survey. 1. How many of you have a remote site hot backup Dovecot IMAP server? 2. How are you replicating mailbox data to the hot backup system? A. rsync B. DRBD+GFS2 C. Other Thanks. -- Stan

I am thinking about a change to our company's phone "layout" and would like to get comments from people who have done something similar. Currently, we have 3 locations - each with their own Asterisk PBX. The corporate office has a PRI. Each remote location has a SIP provider for 5 channels of SIP going to their own PBX. Interoffice calls use the PSTN. Most inbound calls come to

Hi Everyone, I wish to create a Postfix/Dovecot active-active cluster (each node will run Postfix *and* Dovecot), which will obviously have to use central storage. I'm looking for ideas to see what's the best out there. All of this will be running on multiple Xen hosts, however I don't think that matters as long as I make sure that the cluster nodes are on different physical

hello, i'm having a wierd problem with 0.31 tftpd-hpa. i'm using xinetd, with this config: service tftp { disable = no socket_type = dgram wait = yes user = root log_on_failure += USERID bind = 10.13.0.254 server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd

Hi, on a clustered Dovecot server installation that was recently moved from a shared GPFS filesystem to GFS2, occasional corruptions in the users' INBOXes started appearing, where a new incoming message would be appended directly after a block of NUL bytes, and be scanned by dovecot as being glued to the preceding message. I traced this to the file extension operation performed in

Hello, does this bug still exists: http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/IPyW4fzzpEetiWKnJyfJ ? It seems that I have the same problem, although "store dos attributes" is set (Samba 3.6.18; GPFS 3.5.0-11). Here my share definition: [shared] comment = <comment> path = <path> available = yes

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone might be able to speak about using IBM's GPFS filesystem as a means of storing virtual guests in a clustered environment with CentOS as the nodes and KVM as the hypervisor? I'm looking at using IBM's TSM software for archiving data from disk to tape. This requires buying a license for GPFS which is used in conjunction with TSM but can also be used

Hi, I'm trying to set up samba share exporting gpfs filesystem and I strugle with setting sharemode to yes. Samba is 3.6.5, gpfs version is 3.2.1-29 (the latest available for 3.2 branch). Everything works fine when sharemode is set to no, but I'd rather insist to switch it to yes. That's what man page says: no - do not propagate sharemodes across all GPFS nodes. This should only be

Hi Rob, on your Info for Version 3.0.25 you pointed out the VFS-Module GPFS for using features of the underlaying GPFS-Filesystem. Also the man-pages-3/vfs_gpfs.8.html points to that module, but I can't find it anywhere. We are using a GPFS 3.2 3-Node Samba Cluster (3.0.24/28) on Dell HW. We would be very glad if it is posible to get - Quota Recognition for our users (we use "max

I'm looking into doing an HA setup for a Asterisk 1.4 install on Centos. I've seen a number of different pointers to packages for this some of which are packages that seem quite dated from an update perspective (Ultra Monkey links I've seen haven't been updated in a while). What is the current best practice on this for this platform? My first foray into any of the

Hello, I am using the vfs_gpfs samba module to map ACLs through samba. It works fine on files, but directory ACLs are ignored. Ex: getfacl /sb/share/myplace/ file: sb/share/myplace/ owner: root group: root user::rwx user:afrankel:rwx group::--- mask::rwx other::--- When I try to access this folder in Windows, I get permission denied. The same permissions on a files, I can open it / modify it

List, We, IBM, have developed a patch that enhances RSYNC. This patch provides extensions to RSYNC to map to and use filesystem extensions present in the IBM GPFS cluster filesystem. (GPFS is a cluster filesystem for Linux and AIX that provides additional attributes such as NFSv4 ACLs, extended attributes and windows attributes in addition to the common posix permissions) This will greatly

Hi all My apologies for dragging up a very old mail from the depths of the rsync archives: http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2008-October/021963.html I'm trying to use Ronnie's patch to get rsync to copy my GPFS NFSv4 ACLs. I'm having trouble building Ronnie's gpfs.c though - it turns out my programming isn't up to a challenge greater than "configure; make"!
