Dear all, I was wondering if somebody could help me here a bit. For some of the calculations we are running on our cluster we need a significant amount of disc space. The last calculation crashed as the ~700 GB which I made available were not enough. So, I want to set up a RAID0 on one 8 core node with 2 1.5 TB discs. So far, so good.
However, I was wondering whether it does make any sense to somehow 'export' that scratch space to other nodes (4 cores only). So, the idea behind that is, if I need a vast amount of scratch space, I could use the one in the 8 core node (the one I mentioned above). I could do that with nfs but I got the feeling it will be too slow. Also, I only got GB ethernet at hand, so I cannot use some other networks here. Is there a good way of doing that? Some words like i-scsi and cluster-FS come to mind but to be honest, up to now I never really worked with them. Any ideas? All the best Jörg -- ************************************************************* Jörg Saßmannshausen Research Fellow University of Strathclyde Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry 295 Cathedral St. Glasgow G1 1XL email: jorg.sassmannshau...@strath.ac.uk web: http://sassy.formativ.net Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
