Hello, Seems like GFS would have it’s own area, but…
project page directs to this list… I do not need a cluster file system currently.
However, I am outgrowing ext3 (mainly the volume size limit). Xfs looks
unworkable due to memory requirements for a large filesystem, and EXT4 is ready
yet. I was thinking about using JFS, but that isn’t supported in
RedHat 5. So either I have to settle for EXT3 (split the file system), or
pick a different distro, or pick a different file system. Wasn’t considering GFS2 at first, but it appears to be
built into Redhat 5. If anyone can recommend something else that is
supported by RedHat 5 and supports large volumes, that would be good too. Where are the specs for GFS2? (Max volume size, max
file size, max number of directories in a directory, etc…)? How does performance compare to EXT3 (and JFS) when running GFS2
in non locking mode? Given that GFS is designed to work in a cluster, I
am a little concerned it might not be as efficient on a single machine with a
file system not designed to run on a cluster. Plus I am a little
concerned that GFS2 has not been out as long or in production as much compared
to ext3 and jfs… Thanks for any insights. |
