* www.seycob.es , www.copiadeseguridad.cl , remote backup company's

* Four mfs clusters , mfsclients on root vsftpd virtual-servers, example 
on spain, primary cluster http://control.seycob.es:9425 , rsync to
secondary cluster, http://control.seycob.es:9426
are on the same subnet, but in different locations, connected trough 
fiber optics.

* Absolute stability in the processes 24/7 continuous read/write for ten 
months in operation, seven discs damaged, ext3 filesystem, problems on 
ext4 and btrfs. I'm trying again in ext4 ....

* Six sata disks +- per chunkserver, comodity hardware HP/DELL
+- 280 € + discs per server, except mfsmaster's, 2 Gigabit Ethernet with 
Link Agregation in mode 5. Moosefs has fulfilled our expectations 
provided stability, performance, scalability, consistency, fault 
tolerance, content costs, communication with applications, management 
simple..

* At first I was evaluating the deployment of cluster Cassandra, but 
stability and access for applications was painful, I am not a fan of 
java ...., but is now a viable option for file-based nosql/bigtable 
cluster. Or glusterfs for FTND raid1 filesystem.

* Depending on the goal, fortunately there are several open source 
options. MooseFS is the most obvious chunk-based cluster.

* Pending features in the future, secondary mfsmaster, define Rac's on 
mfsmaster/mfschunserver, goal per rac, mfstools for massive manage 
errors in chunks, inodes, files, reserverd files, mfssnapshot is 
unusable for massive or continuous backup purposes.

* Regards.
