[MooseFS-Users] Separate network for chunk servers

[Wilson, S. M <st...@pu...>]

Hi,


I'm considering implementing a dedicated network for our chunk servers to use soley for replication among themselves.  By doing this, I hope to separate the chunk traffic from the clients from the replication traffic that takes place among the chunk servers.  If my understanding is correct, this is not achieved by using the REMAP_* options in mfsmaster.cfg which only separates out the traffic to/from the master.


If anyone else has done this, I'd be grateful to hear about your experience, especially in these two areas:

    1)  what level of performance improvement was seen

    2)  what needed to be done in the MooseFS configuration and OS networking to implement it


?Thanks!

Steve
