Re: distributed filesystem for backup



Don't know if it would work, but each machine could export an 'iSCSI' disk - then GFS on this...

That is if he wants to use the storage from all his machines...

gfs does need a dedicated network ?

No, GFS needs *shared storage* to work. I don't know the details but I know FC and SCSI work, and I'm pretty sure iSCSI does too. It wouldn't take advantage of your current setup I don't think. drbd (as someone else mentioned) might be an option there but I don't know.
