Hello, I am a newbie in OGFS so forgive my ignorance. Although, berfore posting I read almost everything I could found on the subject but I didn't understand everything. I planning to do a (production) setup moving our existing NFS/rsync to something a little bit more appropriate. I have two requirements : 1) replacing the actual rsync setup. This is the purpose of GFS so no big deal here. I might setup a something involving FC or using a software RAID over an network drive I don't know yet. 2) replacing the actual NFS service. The fun begin here. All our workstation act more or less as part of a (SPICE) calculus farm. I want to move forward in that direction. A SPICE simulation as we run it produce a lot of information. Close to 'cat /dev/random > ~/sim/result.raw'. So any networked fs will struggle on the bandwidth. The only way I see to deal with this issue is to optimized bandwidth utilisation by : a) 'spice ... -o /dev/stdout | gzip -c > ~/sim/result.raw.gz' b) caching write operation to local disk c) caching read operation to local disk As I understand GNDB, caching isn't there yet. Am I wrong ? Is anybody know an alternative that could do it? Is anybody interrested in coding it? Note: by caching write operation, it is possible to schedule updates uppons what are requested elsewhere. That is where the gain is. Thanks for your time.
