OT: CXFS

[Frank Hellmann <frank@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

This is a bit off-topic, but has anybody come in contact with the CXFS 
client/implementation for Linux?

We have a need for our render systems to get faster access to the 
original film frames to work on (from 12MB up to 50MB size per 
frame/file). A clustered filesystem might solve our current network 
bottleneck (Gbit Ethernet) and would make use of the existing 
fibrechannel infrastructure.

I am most interested in actually how good and stable the linux client 
performs. Is there is any big device support (>2TB)?

I would be really gratefull if somebody could point me to more detailed 
infos about CXFS than the marketing blurb on SGIs site...

                Thanks a lot,

                        Frank...
