Hi, I have a requirement for a cheap, yet highly reliable back-end network filesystem for a project that's coming up. In previous lives I have dealt with such requirements using NetApp filer clusters with FCAL-attached disk; however, this is Not A Cheap Solution (although it does have many other advantages). However, I have just read through the coda docs, and have started to drool :) I have a picture in my mind of various back-end machines with (say) small piles of SCSI disks in them all contributing to a coda filesystem, arranged with volume replication such that any individual machine can be pulled from the array without noticably hurting the clients. Is anybody using coda in a real world environment? With FreeBSD 3.2 clients and servers? How would you rate the performance? As a benchmark only, would you ever (in your wildest dreams :) consider running a production news server with its article store on a coda filesystem? How about something with way more reads than writes, like a farm of web servers? How stable is coda in it's current form in -STABLE?
