Yes, GFS would be nice. I've also been waiting for a beta of Veritas' =
CFS for Linux since December '03, but it's still a no-show.
I haven't messed with OCFS since v1.08, but it indeed was scary then. =
It flat out refused to work under RH9 (AS2.1 wouldn't support our =
hardware and we didn't want to spend $ on AS3), until I hacked it with a =
modified RH9 patch for JFS. Like Oracle says, OCFS is only meant to =
handle Oracle datafiles for RAC and nothing else. And they mean it. =
Oracle PIO performance was so bad (~1M/s), that I dumped OCFS in favor =
of raw. I did see a presentation of Wim's on OTN about some tips on =
implementing OCFS that I didn't do, such as the OCFS versions of cp, dd, =
etc., but I don't see what that would have to do with Oracle PIO =
performance.
I see that OCFS has newer versions now. Perhaps it performs better now, =
or perhaps it's just easier to get it to perform. If you want RAC to =
install easily (and probably run like it was meant to), try it out on =
OpenVMS. Has anyone here tried RAC on an OpenVMS cluster? It looks =
(*looks*) like it's a no-brainer setup, thanks to the most mature and =
stable clustering around. :)
