Hi All,
I'm starting a new project to consolidate all svn repos across our
company into a single instance. Originally we looked at doing a
active-passive cluster, but after looking at the loads on the current
individual svn repos, we are thinking that an active-active cluster
would be preferable.
My question is, is it possible/safe to have two apache/svn nodes
accessing the same repo on the same storage system, shared out via nfs
v3? Of course the repo DB will formated with type FSFS, but we are
concerned about data corruption with multiple nodes doing commits to the
same repo. Does anyone have any experience using svn in this or a
similar configuration?
The underlying disk system itself is probably the bottleneck so
distributing access isn't likely to help performance that much anyway.
I'd expect bigger gains from beefing up the storage unit (make the raid
distribute over more drives, don't share those drives with other work,
use a controller with battery-backed buffering, etc.).
