Hi Andre,
This is for a broadcast facility where the editors do want to preview
the media as it is coming into the XSAN, thus the reading back of the
quicktime .mov file while it is still being written/ingested into the
system. The part which eludes me at this moment is that running the
exact same setup but via the afp protocol does not seem to reproduce
this problem and which leads me to think that it's the way the apache
server interacts with the XSAN. Certainly at this time, any bit of
information would greatly help.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Mark

Hi all,
We have a XSAN storage which is attached to an xserve running
apache2. We have noticed that the disk reads have dropped by 80%
when we are streaming quicktime files which are still being written
to disk across the local network via http. However, if we are
streaming the same file which has finished writing to the disk, we
are seeing disk read speeds of up to 80MB/s whereas if the file was
still being written to disk and read at the same time, the speeds
drop to 13MB/s. Is there a setting on apache which may cause this
behavior?
Probably not.
There might however exist an XSAN or xserve switch for that.
Or maybe you just need to buy a bigger XSAN or a bigger xserve, or a
faster network ?
;-)
By curiosity : it seems a bit strange to be reading a file that is
still being written by something else. What is the idea there ?
