Hi all, I don't know how much disk storage do you need but, I strogly suggested to use lustre filesystem for an hpc cluster. It is straightforward to install. This filesystem is an distributed file system and uses mds (metadata server or servers) and object storage servers for raw data. On the top of this there is an admin services running. In the technical university of Istanbul we implement Lustre 1.6 and tested. Formerly it was opensource. After that sun bought this from a firm called cluster filesystem. http://www.clusterfs.com and there is also free version www.lustre.org. If you prefer to use a enterprise solution, you can choose a product from hp, it is SFS20 (HP-Scaleable File Share) which is also based on lustre filesystem. cheers -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kristoffer Knigga Sent: Saturday, May 31, 2008 4:19 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: RE: Cluster File system ( open source/ Commercial)?
