If it is sufficient to share a fs over the network, mosix brings=20 it's own mfs which provides you with the same representation of your date=20 on all cluster nodes. If it is ok to have volume A served by server A and=20 volume B by server B (if you can divide your data into two sets), reiserfs = is fine.=20 =20 We are currently evaluating a configuration with two servers (one samba,=20 the other one netatalk and nfs) accessing a shared gfs (sistina) on a=20 fibrechannel storage. If we decide not to choose this, we will divide=20 data in sets and export some volumes from one, other from the second=20 server - this would keep us using reiserfs on the file server ;-)=20 =20 I know that there have been tests with mosix in storage / file server=20 applications, and I have a pdf here, if someone is interested, tell me -=20 I certainly won't post it to the whole list ;-)))=20 =20 One last - reiserfs patches and mosix patches coexist friendly here.=20 =20 CU Lars.=20 --=20 +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Jetzt ein- oder umsteigen und USB-Speicheruhr als Pr=E4mie sichern!
