Re: [Moosefs-users] Moosefs for logs

[Michał B. <mic...@ge...>]

Hi!

You can easily use MooseFS to store any kind of content, including log
files. Performance should not be affected. But it depends on the logging
mechanism, if for writing every line the file is continuously opened, data
appended and the file closed, for sure it is not perfect way to save logs. 

And you have to remember about one thing. Different clients cannot write at
the same moment to the same file located in MooseFS. So if you have several
httpd servers, let them save the logs under different filenames (eg.
access-192.168.0.1.log, access-192.168.0.2.log, etc.)


If you need any further assistance please let us know.

Subject: [Moosefs-users] Moosefs for logs

Hi,

I am a moosefs newbie. I am using EC2 instances and I intended to build a
moosefs system to share EBS disks between instances.

My question is that: can I use moosefs for logs? My applications (web
server, applications) need to write to logs files, but I don't know if
there's any performance problem when logs are written to moosefs' disk.

Thank you for your helps,

Regards,
