[openMosix-general] NFS and MFS

[Robert W. <rw...@r2...>]

Hi,

I need some technical advice about mixing NFS and MFS. We operate on =
large data sets that are stored on our central NS shares. We need to =
access these from our work stations but also from the regression =
servers. This generates really high NFS traffic so we are looking for =
better solutions. One idea we had was to mirror the NFS tree, but have =
the mirror contain links to the files in MFS. Workstations would see the =
real tree and the regression servers would see the tree with the =
symbolic links. The same scripts would work in both places, but the =
mirror tree would allow us to keep the data spread out across the nodes =
so we could take advantage of MFS/DFSA. Will this work? I assume =
openMosix sees the path and tries DFSA after path translation?
