I've been looking at object stores and Riak seems very promising. However, I strongly believe that, to fit the model, object stores need to use commodity disks and do failure protection by replication. RAIDing/striping over multiple disks doesn't seem to be a valid option to me. You're already paying a 3x penalty for replication and then are being expected to pay a 2x penalty for RAID10. I've seen some discussions about multiple disk per server being configured as multiple file systems, but I'm not certain that is supported/encouraged. Is there some documentation that I'm missing that could definitively say whether multiple file systems per server is supported/encouraged?
Thanks, Jim Jim Finlayson Storage Guy
