  Hello,
  
  Just to make sure we separate the two...
  
   mysql cluster that preforms reads on all the

  The above can be used to describe a typical use
 case
  for MySQL Replication.
  
  In a MySQL Cluster there is no need to
 load-balance
  your reads and writes.

   Subject: mysql + LVS
   
   How stable has it become to run an instance of
  mysql ontop of 
   a LVS cluster to produce a massively parrallel
  system to be 
   used for huge databases?
   
   Back in the day i remember tyring to do it with
  mosix, not 
   sure where they are now a days. but either way i
  am looking 
   for some current information on the subject.
   
   I know this differs from the idea that you can
  have a mysql 
   cluster that preforms reads on all the slaves,
 and
  writes 
   only on the master.
   
   thanks

 ok so LVS is not what i am looking for. I have been
 reading about some software hacks that allow mysql
 to
 use shared memory spread out over a few machines.
 
 scenerio,
 
 Huge database, over 7 million records. And a high
 ratio of writes vs reads. Idealy i would like to
 have
 the entire database in RAM. Does anyone have any
 experience running a database this big? can anyone
 offer a suitalbe setup? I have taken a look at the
 wikipedia setup

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_servers#Overall_system_architecture


after talking to a few people on the #mysql irc
someone suggested using NFS to create a ramfs to get
100GB+ RAM shared memory to load the entire database
into the RAM. Can anyone offer any Pros or Cons to
this setup, drawing from personal expierence?

thanks

Do you really mean 100Gb RAM?  Is that actually possible today?
