-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, We're looking at setting up a cluster and using GFS to share data between the individual nodes. Although our initial configuration would probably consist of about 3 nodes, it's important that we can easily add extra nodes in the future. I've read that each node requires its own journal on the GFS filesystem and that it's impossible to add journals without expanding the filesystem. My query is therefore whether it's in any way detrimental to specify a large number of journals (I'm thinking along the lines of 16 or 32 in our case) when creating the filesystem if these are unlikely to ever be used? I realise each journal will incur a cost in terms of storage space, but I'm willing to make the trade-off for the sake scalability. Many thanks in advance for your responses. Kind regards, - -- Steve Maddison System Administrator Green Valley B.V. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFat249vcnBEUROrsRAvn2AJ4qT+lTsEugAzD3NRVXCHlqeBr1qgCaAnix rsd/fscCznr0vCqL9HnpndA= =BPBf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
