I read this paper on Sunday. Seems interesting: The Architecture of PolyServe Matrix Server: Implementing a Symmetric Cluster File System
http://www.polyserve.com/requestinfo_formq1.php?pdf=2 What interested me the most is that the metadata and lock are spread across all the nodes. I read the "Parallel NFS (pNFS)" presentation, and seems like pNFS still has the metadata on one server... (Lisa, correct me if I am wrong). http://opensolaris.org/os/community/os_user_groups/frosug/pNFS/FROSUG-pNFS.pdf Rayson _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
