Thread: Running PG on cluster files systems

GFS2, OFCS2, lustre, CXFS, GPFS, Veritas and what else there is..

..has someone experience with any of those? Is it bearable to run PG on
them from a performance point of view? I guess not, but any positive
reports?

Thanks

I have tested it on GFS (v1) and lustre. On Lustre, I saw a bit
performance problem, but I think we could bear it thinking the
advantages of Lustre.

OTOH, RHEL AS + RHEL Cluster Suite + LVM + GFS combination worked very
well, as compared to extX. I don't have benchmarks handy, BTW.
