Fwd: Re: Raw Disk still preferred for 11.5? - File system type for SDS

The sysadmin corrected me - OCFS2 - I dont know if that makes much difference or not.. laurie Laurie Gustin" <lgustin@utah.gov> 10/08/08 11:03 AM >>> Thanks so much for all the feedback, I have learned a great deal. I think we will go with a cooked system. I think it will be better administratively, since they wont give me root access to the new servers and it will be a chance to try something new and test the performance. Now I am getting questions from the sys admins about file system type. We are going to implement SDS servers that will access the same disk on a SAN. As of today.. the plan is to use OCFS file system. (rather than Risser or ext3). Any comments on this? Also - I have been reading the manuals, and blogs, and whitepapers, etc., about seeting up SDS servers and it really doesnt talk much about how the shared disk is accesed/referenced on the SDS servers. I have always figured the sys admins should know how to do this... but it is causing a lot of questions. Is there somewhere I can send these guys to give them the info they need to set up the shared disk part of it? Thanks a bunch!!!
