Hi Benny, Thanks a lot for the reply! I will check exofs. We are looking for a block-based cluster file system that can be deployed on top of a cluster of commodity machines and can use the machines' local storage instead of using a SAN. We find that OCFS2 is a good candidate. Is it possible to use OCFS2 as the storage server in pNFS? Thanks a lot! best, Yudong On Tue, Jun 22, 2010 at 11:49 PM, Benny Halevy <bhalevy@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On 2010-06-16 20:17, Yudong Gao wrote: >> Hi, >> >> We are trying to setup a pNFS testbed and deploy a cluster file system >> on the storage servers.
