We´ve been using IBM´s GPFS filesystem on (currently) seven x-series
servers running RHEL4 and RHEL5, all SAN-attached all serving t
I use GlusterFS with Dovecot and it works without issues. The GlusterFS team
has made huge progress since 2.0 and with the new 3.0 version they have again
proved that GlusterFS can get better.

For us, all the front end exim servers pass their mail to a single final
delivery server. It was done so that we didn't have all the front end
servers needing to mount the storage. It

Dare I ask...(as it's not exactly clear from the Gluster docs)
If I take 5 storage servers to house my /mail can my cluster of 5 front
end dovecot servers all mount/read/write to /mail.
The reason I ask is the docs seem to suggest I should be doing 5
servers, having 5 partitions, one for each ma
Quoting Steve :
I have already installed GFS on a cluster in the past, but never on DRBD.
Me too (I did in on a real physical SAN before).
Hmm... when I started with GlusterFS I thought that using more then
two nodes is something that I will never need.
GlusterFS is really designed to all

GFS+DRBD should fit the bill... You need several nics and cables,
but they are dirt cheap... Just 2 machines with the same disk setup,

Quoting Ed W :
Anyone had success using some other clustered/HA filestore with
dovecot who can share their experience? (OCFS/GFS over DRBD, etc?)
GFS2 over DRBD in an active-active setup works fine IMHO. Not perfect,
but it was cheap and works well... Let's me reboot machines with

we use drbd with ext3
GlusterFs always strikes me as being "the solution" (one day...). It's
had a lot of growing pains, but there have been a few on the list had
success using it already.
Given some time has gone by since I last asked - has anyone got any more
recent experience with it and how has it worked out w
