What happens if only one host mounts the storage for writing and all other hosts are read-only.
You can't do that either.
In our application, the data is stored on one machine and is updated often. This data is exported to other machines using NFS in a read-only mode. The problem with NFS is that (I think) it is slow.
It will be slow. But I have never seen an application that was slow because of the NFS. At my university I used to manage Objectivity (true OO database) with data in tera-bytes. I did tests with directly connecting to the disk array, vs Objectivity DB files served over NFS. The difference was negligible. Maybe something is mis-configured. Also take a look at AFS (the IBM version). It might offer you better performance, but is certainly not cheap. saqib http://www.linkedin.com/in/encryption -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
