Hello folks, What is the current status of database files in AFS space?
We are considering the placement of users' MySQL and PgSQL database files within their AFS volumes. Essentially, it looks like AFS might have writing speed and locking issues that would prevent that. Supposing we could live with somewhat slower writes, could you provide us with more information on locking and its impacts on mysql and pgsql in specific? Looking at [1], it is not advised, but there are no explicit problems mentioned either. Looking at [2], which appears to be CMU's class assignment, the students are supposed to create a Postgres database within their AFS volumes, without a word of problems that might create.
