Hi all, I got 20 nodes cluster(1 Gb Ethernet connected) and gonna build a small storage system with it. Because of the low budget I'm thinking to use 1 Gb Ethernet as physical layer for the storage part. Here's what I planed. There 8 SATA hard drivers so I wanna use AoE or iSCSI to export the block devices to the master node over Ethernet. Then the master node will use NFS to export block devices to compute nodes. The upper layer file system I will use XFS. I know it would be better if I can use Lustre but my interconnection is a little slow. I suspect if it is feasible if using such parallel file system. Does anyone has good idea on this deployment? Thanks very much. Eric _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
