So what can one use for webhosting purposes?
We use XEN / KVM virtual machines, hosted on NAS devices but the NAS
devices doesn't have an easy upgrade path. We literally have to rsync
all the data to the new device and then shutdown all the machines on
the old one and restart them on the new one. They don't provide 100%
uptime either. So I'm looking for something with easier upgrade
(GlusterFS can do this) and better uptime (again, GlusterFS can do
this).
But it's clear that GlusterFS isn't made for small files, so what else
could work well for us?
XEN/KVM should be fine. Many small files should be locally cached if
possible (not always possible though).
