I have moved my php session handles into Mysql and had the Mysql clustering engine maintain the Sync among the web servers. It is not only faster, but simpler besides. tc "Duncan Morgan" <dmorgan@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent by: linux-cluster-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx 12/13/04 10:59 AM Please respond to linux clistering To: "'linux clistering'" <linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx> cc: (bcc: Tom Currie/teamics) Subject: RE: [Linux-cluster] A very basic question Anatoly, We plan on using GFS to share a web document root (i.e.- /var/www) to a series of load-balanced web servers. The application to be run on these web servers is PHP/MySQL and is predominantly read-only for the web files (writes done mainly to the database). The biggest problem we have is the PHP session id directory which will experience heavy writes.

It depends, you should say first what is needed from SAN. Maybe any other network filesystem will fit your requirements, like NFS/SMB ? Or i'm not understood question. -- Anatoly P.
