I hate to say this > but it does look like Linux has superior support for clustering. Be aware that GFS is a commercial product though. There are a number of other Linux clustering filesystems in this area if you're looking to port one though. Ignoring GFS and Coda (since they have both been mentioned already), a brief (and incomplete) list would be something like: . PVFS http://www.parl.clemson.edu/pvfs/ . InterMezzo http://inter-mezzo.org/ . GPFS http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/clusters/software/gpfs.html . Lustre http://www.lustre.org/ Unfortunately I'd have to agree that Linux has better clustering support at the moment. That is basically because more people (particularly the corporations and national labs) are working on cluster support for Linux. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-cluster" in the body of the message
