Re: [SLUG] Network Real-Time Hot Filesystem Replication?
Crossfire wrote: I've just spent some time quickly researching this to no real satisfaction. What I'm looking for is a way to do real-time hot-replication of a whole filesystem or filesystem tree over 2 nodes (and strictly 2 nodes) without STOMITH[1]. The scenario is I have two identical systems with local (software) RAID1. They will be tethered onto their internet feed via ethernet, and can optionally be tethered to each other via Gig. I want to be able to set it up so /home (and maybe other filesystems) are replicated from one to the other, in both directions, in real time so they can run in an all-hot redundant cluster. The environment should be mostly read-oriented, so I can live with write-latent solutions as long as they handle the race/collision gracefully (preferably by actually detecting and reporting it if they can't avoid it). I've had some success with Software iSCSI targets on Linux to date. I'm currently using software iSCSI over Gigabit Ethernet to back a VMware ESX cluster[0]. Software iSCSI targets (I have experience only with tgtd - the only one that seemed current) present a Linux block device as an iSCSI target over the network. I present an LVM logical volume. One could conceive of an eventuality where you made both machines iSCSI targets and initiators and ran RAID1 over the local and remote iSCSI targets[1]. I have no idea what sort of (terrible) performance you might get out of this sort of setup, but it would meet your requirements, and with enough RAM for read-caching in each node, it might not be too bad. You would need that Gigabit cross-connect. There are large warnings in the scsi_tgt code about using it in production, however. I suspect this problem space isn't addressed terribly often because, well, (1) it's Hard, (2) most people who care about this stuff buy shared storage (check ebay), (3) It's even Harder once you start talking file systems that do this[2]. Cheers, Matt 0. I can post my recipe for the target bits, if anyone cares. 1. With a global filesystem, of course. 2. Ceph, which Robert Collins suggested above, is a really good example of a brilliantly designed distributed file system (much better than MogileFS, which is more an on-disk hash table with quirks), but I have my doubts about it's suitability for production systems (though I hope it gets there). -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] OpenSuse 10.3 and NTFS
Hi all, I hope that someone can help me. I am using OpenSuse 10.3 and I can not view my Windows XP Pro file system in OpenSuse and I have made the modifications in the fstab file.

[SLUG] Debian question
No, I'm not being converted (shaddup David!) I've been, erm, asked to work on a little embedded box that $POE is trialling for a POS graphical display terminal. Said device runs Debian - and has issues with running a graphics mode higher than 1024x768. Naturally, $POE want it at 1280x720 (widescreen 16:9 ratio) It's running a bastardised/modified Debian Etch, as far as I can tell. Now, for all you Debian lovers out there. 1) Is Etch recent, or behind the times? The box is from HP - model available if required. it runs an ATI embedded card - shared video graphics RAM with the motherboard, I believe 2) Is this mode even valid? 3) Anyone know the magic to get this working? TIA. DaZZa -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
