Lee, I have been experimenting with iSER/iSCSI and OCFS as the filesystem for a data-intensive system and so far so good. I recommend you look into these if you are looking to create a cluster filesystem. -----Original Message----- From: stgt-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:stgt-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Lee Eric Sent: Friday, May 06, 2011 7:08 AM To: Tomasz Chmielewski Cc: FUJITA Tomonori; stgt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Help: Data Synchronization Problem Thanks mate. So how about PVFS or I just use NFSv4 in the iscsi target device? I don't know if there are some performance increase from NFSv3 to NFSv4. Thanks.
