This is an interesting idea. I would be a happy man if it would actually work. My experiences with NFS would lead me to believe that this would not help and could hurt the performance of existing MySQL server even more. My use has been limited to a file server for our web nodes, so, this is a bit different.
Let us know if you try it and how it turns out. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Luis Calero" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2002 5:39 AM Subject: MySQL over NFS | | Hi... I've got the folowing question, our servers are running pretty | busy these days and our main DB server is taking high load peaks (memory | is OK but the cpu has almost no idle time). We have another spare server | and I'm thinking about mounting the database over NFS (100mb LAN) to the | spare server and using both as frontends to the DB. Both servers are | supposed to do reads and updates to the DB, but i'm concerned with the | updates of the server using NFS. | | Are NFS locks safe enough to run this kind of setup? Is this going to be | an advantage or will suffer from other kinds of problems? Both boxes are | PIII dual 1Ghz / 1Gb ram, Linux 2.4.16, MySQL 3.23.52 | | Thanx | | -- | L | | | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Before posting, please check: | http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) | http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) | | To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Trouble unsubscribing?
