Re: [Moosefs-users] Drawbacks of using "filesystems in files" in chunk servers?

Hi!

We have not tried this in a production environment. In theory everything
should work fine. Please share your experience with our group after you run
this configuration.


Kind regards

Subject: [Moosefs-users] Drawbacks of using "filesystems in files" in chunk
servers?

Hi all!

In the reference guide, it is said "If it's not possible to create a
separate disk partition, filesystems in files can be used" and some
instrutions followed. I can imagine that there will be a drop down in the
performance (anyone has some statistical data about this?), but I don't know
whether there are other drawbacks. I'm asking this because I wanna make use
of some existing computers with partially empty partitions. I think It's a
bit risky to resize the partitions.

Thanks!
