That's really cool, are you able to share the scripts, image and/or how the usb image was made ?

Subject: Re: [Moosefs-users] moosefs distro Hi, We run the chunkservers completely from memory, they boot from USB and only use a small partition of the USB drive for the graph data so that the history isn't lost between reboots. Every chunkserver has 6x1TB disks and 3GB of ram and there are startup scripts that initialize new disks on boot if required, so a new server can just be put into the rack with a USB stick plugged in and it will clear all the disks and setup for MFS if it is not like that already. /Oli On 5.1.2012, at 16:11, Travis Hein wrote: > The chunk server daemons are very low footprint for system resource > requirements.
