Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
By now many are familiar with my keen interest in clustering gentoo |
| 4 |
systems. So, what most cluster technologies use is a distributed file |
| 5 |
system on top of the local (HD/SDD) file system. Naturally not |
| 6 |
all file systems, particularly the distributed file systems, have |
| 7 |
straightforward instructions. Also, an device file system, such as |
| 8 |
XFS and a distibuted (on top of the device file system) combination |
| 9 |
may not work very well when paired. So a variety of testing is |
| 10 |
something I'm researching. Eliminiation of either file system |
| 11 |
listed below, due to Gentoo User Experience is most welcome information, |
| 12 |
as well as tips and tricks to setting up any file system. |

Distributed File Systems (DFS): |
| 16 |
HDFS (poor performance) |
| 17 |
Lustre |
| 18 |
Ceph |
| 19 |
XtreemFS |
| 20 |
GlusterFS |
| 21 |
MooseFS |
| 22 |
FhGFS (BeeGFS) soon to be entirely open sourced? |
| 23 |
Any other distributed file systems I should consider using? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Local (Device) File Systems LFS: |
| 26 |
btrfs |
| 27 |
zfs |
| 28 |
ext4 |
| 29 |
xfs |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Obviously I do not what to test all combinations of DFS/LocalFS |
| 32 |
so your comments are extremely welcome as is any and all |
| 33 |
related information. |
