Hello all, |
| 2 |

I currently manage about 40 Window, OSX, and Hardened Gentoo servers. I |
| 4 |
will soon have 12 P4 servers that were previously used as video encoders |
| 5 |
free as well as an Apple XRaid. With all this spare hardware I thought |
| 6 |
I'd research setting up a cluster of servers running Apache for load |
| 7 |
balancing and high availability. I'm also looking into a MySQL cluster, |
| 8 |
but that wouldn't require a shared filesystem. I'm wondering if anyone |
| 9 |
has done something like this before and in particular knows a good |
| 10 |
filesystem to use so that each of the servers can access and potentially |
| 11 |
write to the same storage array. I've accomplished the same thing with |
| 12 |
XServes running OSX, but they like to charge you a pretty penny for the |
| 13 |
XSan software that allows this which I thought I'd try to avoid if |
| 14 |
possible. So far I've seen only GFS, but haven't gotten much reading |
| 15 |
done on it yet. Any other tips or insights would be appreciated as well. |
