Actually there isn't a easy file system which spans 3 computers and scales to thousand and is eay to install.
There are only one's which are hard to install, or needing more than 3 computers, etc..
- Diederich 11y agoHonest question: how does GlusterFS not meet these goals? I know that it's easy to install, and can easily run on three computers. And I believe it can scale to thousands.
- ollybee 11y agoGluster provides files storage but not block storage.
- Diederich 11y agoTrue enough, thanks!
- merb 11y agoActually GlusterFS is close to my needs, however the "easy to install" and actually bad performance on many small files is a road blocker for us. However it runs well, even on just 3 servers.
- hatsunearu 11y agohttp://www.ceph.com/ http://www.ceph.com/ pretty hard to install (ceph-deploy makes it easier) but I've seen some pretty spiffy claims like really easy scaling and provisioning.
- angrygoat 11y agoI've run a ceph deployment for about 18 months now, it's good. ops-wise it's like anything, a few quirks to learn - but it's very solid. I played around with a couple of puppet modules and ended up on ceph-deploy as well, makes life quite easy.
- hatsunearu 11y agoOut of curiosity, how big is your cluster in terms of nodes, capacity, throughput, etc?
