Distributed file systems

Posted On // Leave a Comment

I am planning to create a RAID-like redundant distributed fs to connect a few storage servers to one single "virtual" fs. I know there are a few alternatives to create such a fs, e.g. glusterfs, xtreemfs, ceph, Tahoe-LAFS etc., while all of them have their own feature sets.

I am curious about those people here, which are already using a distributed fs:



  • Which software are you using?

  • In which mode is it operating? Mirroring / striping / distributing?

  • Are the storage nodes in one location (geographically) or scattered to different locations?

  • How is it performing? Latencies, transfer rates etc.

  • Maybe you have some favorite feature, which the alternatives are missing?


This could help to get an overview of the possible use cases.

Thanks!
