[Linux-cluster] A very basic question

[Duncan Morgan]

Anatoly,

We plan on using GFS to share a web document root (i.e.- /var/www) to a
series of load-balanced web servers. The application to be run on these
web servers is PHP/MySQL and is predominantly read-only for the web
files (writes done mainly to the database). The biggest problem we have
is the PHP session id directory which will experience heavy writes.

It depends, you should say first what is needed from SAN.
Maybe any other network filesystem will fit your requirements, like
NFS/SMB ? Or i'm not understood question.
