Hi Guys!
Sorry to be a bit Off-Topic, but unfortunatly I can't test this out by
myself...
I am checking out a way to speed up data-transfers between a server and
a couple of clients. A fullblown SAN (CXFS etc) approach is currently
not in our budget, but we already have a couple of directly attached
fibre-channel diskarrays here. I will buy a FC-switch to get the arrays
easily switched over to the clients to speed up things (instead of
copying over network).
Now, my question: What will happen if I configure the FC-switch to route
a single diskarray to all machines, mount that device read-write on
the server and read-only on the clients? Will XFS allow me to do that?
How propable is non-integrity data on the clients (considering that the
server won't write to that device at that time anymore)? What will
happen if all clients strom out to get data at the same time?
Thanks a lot. Cheers,
Frank...
