I've been trying to find more information about using GFS and MySQL to create a simple active-active mysql cluster without the need for the actual mysql cluster (wouldn't work for our situation). The only thing I've seen on the mailing list is the following: ----- It is possible to use mysql on shared storage with enabled external locking and also disabling the query cache and few other things: enable-locking query_cache_wlock_invalidate query_cache_size= 0 query_cache_type= 0 delay_key_write = OFF flush in mysqld section this configuration worked for my 10 node cluster . ---- but other than that no one has posted anything. I also found this press release: http://www.mysql.com/news-and-events/press-release/release_2005_13.html from mysql and redhat that says: "MySQL and Red Hat plan to test the MySQL database with Red Hat's Cluster Suite and Global File System (GFS). Red Hat GFS allows a cluster of MySQL servers to simultaneously read and write data to a single shared file system on a SAN, achieving high performance and reducing the complexity and overhead of managing redundant data copies. With Red Hat Cluster Suite and GFS, MySQL customers can get a highly available clustered database solution based on all open source technologies." But once again I can't find any follow up to this. Can anyone give me a hand? I'd want to run 3 active mysql servers at least on one set of data shared with GFS. Thanks. -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
