Dear Anthony, The tests that we report in the last message, were done localy in the machine (without gnbd), and without lock (just one machine) using module lock_nolock. We believe the performance problem we faced is about gfs structure, not lock, but now, we are updating the webpage and results with GNBD and GFS will be available soon, may be today. just to remember the page: http://guialivre.governoeletronico.gov.br/seminario/index.php/TestesGFS Our objective here is to implement one Distributed Raid in a network enviroment using gfs as the top filesystem. I had done that with success about two years ago using ext3 at top filesystem. It was one distributed raid in a network enviroment of 1.5 TB distributed in 4 machine servers and 1 client mounting that raid. Lets see how gfs performs, in the next tests cya -- .''`.
