Cluster File Systems

Array

Hi Ulrich,

There're several alternatives of global filesystems for
cluster setups, 
commercial and free ones.

Below, there's a list with a few global filesystems options
that can 
attempt to this kind of setup:

Lustre - http://www.lustre.org/
PvFS2 - http://www.pvfs.org/
RHGFS - http://www.re
dhat.com/software/rha/gfs/ (People say that it's 
very fast and realiable. I don't know, I've never used it.)
OcFS2 - http://oss.orac
le.com/projects/ocfs2/

The OCFS2 (Oracle Cluster Filesystem v.2) is a pretty good
choice of 
global filesystems for a cluster setup because it's very
fast, clean, 
easy to setup and admin, and beside that, in your case, as
you use SuSE 
Enterprise Server, you have packages ready-to-use on it in
the YaST 
package snapshot. ;)
