Re: Regarding Block level access and Oracle

Faraz,
 Thanks for trying GlusterFS! About running oracle on GlusterFS, i do not
quite know what kind of blocklevel access oracle needs for working. If it is
similar to directly working on /dev/sda, it would be a bit difficult to do
that with GlusterFS. I'm not sure if oracle will be satisfied if you create
a striped file across nodes using GlusterFS and provide a directIO access to
that file (i.e. oracle treats that as raw partition). That way you can gain
the redundancy features (of AFR) and still have a block level (equivalent)
access.

thanks,
avati

Dear All,

Firstly Gluster is a dream come true! Many thanks to people putting
their efforts into this. Wanted to ask regarding the possibility of
running something like Oracle on Gluster - problem being block level
access. Mysql and Postgres run completely okay but i doubt oracle will
(lustre has the same problem).

Though I haven't gone too deep into gluster's architecture- if one
wanted this functionality how can be (broadly) go about implementing it?

Thanks
