you could just install your application via RPMs? If you ensure they are on the same version of the RPM, and you never manually install code, you should meet all of your requirements, plus it saves you from having to manage a 10 node GFS cluster just for a set of binaries. Even with daily updates, you can make the RPMs available in a specific repo, and have a cron job that updates it daily. ie: yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=myapp update -y -greg _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
