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

[Rujia L. <ruj...@gm...>]

I've already tried such a configuration in our company's LAN shortly
after my post. We had only 3 chunkservers, but all of them used
"filesystem in file". It's used primarily as the storage of Bacula
(one backup per day, currently 50+GB written on mfs).

8 days have passed and so far so good :)
