[Moosefs-users] Storing web server files on MFS

[Stas O. <sta...@gm...>]

Hi.

Is it feasible to place web applications files (JS, HTML, PHP and so) on
MFS?

Or the read speeds will be too low?

Thanks.

I have found running Apache document root folders over MFS to be not 
worse than running them on standard Unix network file system (NFS).

Typically my users connecting to the website experience more latencies 
in their network connection that gets them to the site.

I guess it would depend on your definition of speeds. such as if you 
have several dozens of thousands of requests per second, where even a 
classical file system would experience heavy loads, where you would not 
want to use a NFS mount point, you probably then would have similar 
speed issues with MFS.

Hi!

 

Yes, web files can be stored on MooseFS. Just remember it would not be a
load balancer solution. If you prepare for heavy load, you'll still have to
have several web servers and MooseFS will be a very convenient place to
store the files just in one place and not having to care about backups or
replications.

 

Performance should not be affected (of course, it depends how heavy load
you'll have). And the caching mechanism for clients (which we keep talking
already for a while) would be available soon for beta testing.

 

You can also have a look at this FAQ entry as web files (js, html, php) are
usually small files:
