[gentoo-user] Big data Cluster

[gentoo-user] Big data Cluster

[David Busby]

I'm looking for reccomendations for storage clustering.  I'd like to network together some Gentoo boxes which internally 
are SCSI+RAID5 and then be able to store data on these multiple boxes as though they are one big filesystem.  Similar to 
what Isilon does but with Gentoo.  I've been reading the web sites about the stuff in /usr/portage/sys-fs/ but I cannot 
tell which package is going to give me the "right stuff".  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

try http://evms.sourceforge.net/
sys-fs/evms

The idea is an evolution of the one of "lvm"

You also might be interested in sys-fs/gfs.  Also, you might try the gentoo-cluster mailing list.

Well, I've been collection information as I have a 'large' need for remote video
surveillance. Here are the general approaches I've seen related to clustering
and large data storage needs, from a cost-effective point of view:

OPenmosix has some beta offerings that run on 2.6 based servers.

"Building a Bioinformatics Supercomputering Cluster" that may be of interest.

Also from the Linux Journal, june 2005 it talks about ATA over Ethernet:
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8201

I'd be interested in any other clustering or
'high availability' technologies you find for
Gentoo.

HTH,

James

I just found this one:
   http://www.cuddletech.com/articles/iscsi/

So we can make a Linux box an iSCSI target, freaking sweet.
Now we can put the clustered initiators in the front with some targets behind.
s--- yea!
