<P class=MsoNormal>Hello,<BR><BR>I am looking to set up a Xen array of servers
and I don't really know how to set up the storage subsystem.<BR><BR>I have
been looking for a little while and two options stand out for my setup. The
problem is rather simple, I need a pool of servers to access a shared storage
ressource.<BR><BR>The first option is the easiest, NFS. <BR><BR>The second
option is a little more complex in appearance. I won't be able to have enough
budget to buy a SAN so that is out of the question. What I could do is have a
storage server with a bunch of disks. I would GNBD (or some other Network
Block Driver) coupled with GFS. I am pretty new to these two concepts. I know
that GNBD cannot be used alone if I want more then a single server to access
the storage space.<BR><BR>What is more interesting with performance in mind ?
<BR><BR>Thank you in advance for your input,<BR><BR>Antoine
