Hi,
I'm evaluating filesystems for concurrent access(rw) from different hosts and came across cluster file systems like GFS2 and OCFS2.
Is NFS in a way also able to deal with concurrent reads / writes ?
I have two hosts that need to share a single storage. Access to this storage can be concurrent and to the same files at the same time.
What are the limitations / advantages on NFS compared to cluster file systems?
NFS looks like a simple solution for this to me. Cluster file systems require locking and fencing with addiontional components. I want to keep it as simple as possible.
I would be happy to get your ideas and thoughts on this.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Stefan
