[post to both lists] Hi everyone Next month we hope to go into production with our drbd-ocfs2-ctdb cluster. Of course, we must prove to our boss that it is a fair if not better replacement for our single AD domain file-server which it will replace. A few questions remain to which we cannot find a simple answer that a non technical person would understand. Indeed, much of what we've read we cannot understand ourselves as self styled ha setter-uppers: 1. Where our single ext4 file server is predictable under load (it just gets slower), with both nodes up, why does the cluster fail so badly under ext4 but absolutely screams under ocfs2? The strange thing is that the clustered ext4 actually performs better when only one node is up. 2. Following what is happening with vbox and mysql, are Oracle likely to re-licence ocfs2 in the same way any time soon? 3. IF (2), do openSUSE or anyone else plan a fork (thinking e.g. mariadb)? General chit-chat/verbose/historical answers especially welcome. Thanks, L & S pp all the Linux team here in Alicante. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ha+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ha+owner@opensuse.org
