Experiences with Cluster File Systems (ie. GFS) over a SAN |
|
|
(google news would not let me reply directly, so this will probably
appear as a new thread)
| Quote: | I've been looking at the possibility of putting some NFS servers "over" a
SAN, providing a "home grown" NAS. This would be one solution that'll meet
our NFS requirements, as we can use Linux (or Solaris) NFS servers which
provide ACL support.
But this requires that the underlying Cluster File System provide ACL
support. Does anyone happen to know which do? The semantics I'm seeking
are those found in Solaris's UFS or Linux's XFS or EXT3: the "near POSIX"
ACLs.
Does anyone have experience - good or bad - with this type of solution?
Recommendations? Warnings?

CXFS supports ACLs across all the platforms it supports using the XFS
implementation, and then maps the native ACL tools to manipulate XFS
ACLs behind the scenes.
