All, Are there any special concerns or steps when using one read-write node and many read-only nodes? In this scenerio do you still have to setup all the usual components in the same way (locking, fencing, ...) ? Can anything be left out when you only have one node doing writes? How many people are doing this? Anyone know of any how-tos/documents regarding this specific configuration? Thanks to everyone at Sistina and Red Hat for all their hard work on GFS!
