Should work without problems. My test-clusters are using this setup and i faced no problems even under bonnie++ load... I use ggaoed because other target-creators didn't allowed (i last checked this over a year ago) access to the same target over lo and eth interfaces... I can give more details (eg. configs) if you need them. > If any, is there comparison between GFS (on AOE?) and NFS on > throughput and CPU loading? > Thanks a lot. GFS as blockdevice filesystem and NFS as network protocol can't be compared easily... An NFS-share is hosted on some random (even GFS is possible) blockdevice filesystem hidden behind the protocol of the NFS-server. So this NFS-servers architecture plays a huge role in such a comparison of client-performance... > Best Regards, > Jacky Marc -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
