RE: [ogfs-users]Production Readiness

["Cahill, Ben M" <ben.m.cahill@xxxxxxxxx>]

OpenGFS is fairly stable on 2.4 kernels with the memexp lock manager, but memexp has a single-point-of-failure in the one lock storage server.  OpenGFS with OpenDLM distributed lock manager attempts to solve that, but is not very stable at present.  OpenGFS needs work in order to run on 2.6 kernels.

 

You might want to check out the Red Hat GFS, which they recently open-sourced from the Sistina commercial GFS, after buying Sistina in December:

Hi There,

 

I’m sorry if this has been asked before but this is a fast moving project and I couldn’t spot any definitive information on the website – but how production ready is OpenGFS and which is the best version to use at the moment?

 

Thanks,

 

James
