I have never done this but this is where I would start 1 - raid - hardware/software scsi/ide - depending on your money/needs (personally I like software w/ sata drives) 2 - 2 servers 3 - network raid 1 or rsync 4 - heartbeat to switch the servers when one goes down. http://lcic.org/ha.html On 6/13/07, Farkas Levente <lfarkas@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
hi, we've a few 10-20 server in a lan each has 4-8 hdd. we'd like to create one big file server on these server hard disks and we'd like to create it in a redundant way ie: - if one (or more) of the hdd or server fails the whole filesystem still usable and consistent. - any server in this farm can see the same storage/filesystem. it's someting a big network raid5-6... storage where we have about 40<partition added to the same network volume. and there is an fs over it which hide all internal network raid functionality. is there any such solution? i can't find any way to do this on our linux servers. thank you for your help in advance. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!" _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
