The design I am looking for is the following: https://www.communigate.com/cgatepro/ClusterDynamic.html#OSCluster This means I require some sort of SAN storage managed by a clustered FS, having very little SAN + ClusterFS experience I am research the options available to me. FreeBSD being my OS of choice but I found the following: http://blog.elitecoderz.net/cluster-filesystem-for-freebsd-gfs-ocfs2/2010/06/ This blogger mentions that their is no Clustered FS support at this point in time for FreeBSD which I find astonishing but I have been unable to find anything except for a GlusterFS port using fuse (not ideal). Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated. Thanks -- Jurgen Weber Systems Engineer IT Infrastructure Team Leader THE ICONIC | E jurgen.weber@theiconic.com.au | www.theiconic.com.au
