Getting off-topic but I'd also like to hear who uses a parallel distributed FS, and what problem space they work well in. GFS works fine, but we have trouble scaling it up due solely to the limits of central storage. I'm sure there are esoteric storage designs to get around this, but at some point I also suspect there's an easier way... -Jeff -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
