I don't think I've ever really given jfs any thought. I will certainly investigate this further. I would think that I'd probably have to compile it? I did a lsmod and grep and did not come up.On December 3, 2004 09:47 am, "J. Rafael SÃnchez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I thank you all for your comments. If I were to buy a couple of external firewire/sata/ide/raid cases with around 2TB capacity each, and attach them to one or two of my existing [fastest] servers, would I be getting a comparable solution?
Yeah you can use external DAS boxes to make a current server into a NAS box that way. You could even offer server failover to some extent with this setup as most DAS boxes come with dual channel support. (IE if one of the servers hangs, the other server could takeover the file sharing.)
Also, we produce, not only lot's of data, but files that have started to reach beyond the 2Gb threshold, an issued which I'm already having some challenges with. It becomes a challenge to move them around. Would you care to comment on that?
You may want to consider something like jfs for your file system then. It handles large files better than ext3 or reiserfs.
I see that you're in Edmonton. I will peruse through your website and, I may contact you offlist. Would that be ok?Has anyone had to deal with a similar situation and, if I may ask, how do you deal with it?
We supply lots of customers with NAS boxes to handle this.
I recently put a 64bit system together... and installed FC3 on it...I've had some problems with it already, but that's
another complete different topic of discussion...
We use and sell lots of opterons with out issues and FC3 is definitely the best OS out for that hardware.
There was one day last week that my box rebooted itself twice. I discovered that cron was running a 'sa' "system accounting" job just before the rebooting. Disabling this seem to help a bit, except that shortly after I started to get "kernel panics" twice in the same day. Doing a bit of reserch, it turned out that 'ssh' and probably 'ieee' are buggy. Having users use an Xwin middleware, I was able to stabilize the server.
I keep watching it very closely now. It appears to be stable, but who knows.
