We've had good results with the Coraid EtherDrive products.  Fast, inexpensive 
and extremely simple to use.

        What about iscsi-target?

         

        You could transform a server in something like an ISCSI storage.

         

        I use this solution in my office with a tree nodes cluster.

        Oggetto: [Xen-users] Storage questions

         

        Hello,
        
        I am looking to set up a Xen array of servers and I don't really know 
how to set up the storage subsystem.
        
        I have been looking for a little while and two options stand out for my 
setup. The problem is rather simple, I need a pool of servers to access a 
shared storage ressource.
        
        The first option is the easiest, NFS. 
        
        The second option is a little more complex in appearance. I won't be 
able to have enough budget to buy a SAN so that is out of the question. What I 
could do is have a storage server with a bunch of disks. I would GNBD (or some 
other Network Block Driver) coupled with GFS. I am pretty new to these two 
concepts. I know that GNBD cannot be used alone if I want more then a single 
server to access the storage space.
        
        What is more interesting with performance in mind ? 
        
        Thank you in advance for your input,
        
        Antoine Benkemoun
