Shared file storage
What is the recommended shared file storage solution for a remote server. The documentation refers to:
Since External NAS + NFS is not an option I have been looking at GlusterFS, but installation tutorials are pretty scarce. I will be installing ISPman Cluster on a Debian 5 64 bit LAMP OS. Suggestions or pointers? |

Upon further reading it seems that NFS is actually the easiest to setup on Debian, a tutorial can be found here:
http://www.howtoforge.com/nfs-server...nt-debian-etch However, which access restrictions should be imposed in exports? # /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported /storage 192.168.0.101(rw,sync) or /storage rw,sync or should the restrictions include all the IPs in the cluster? |

Please note, that GlusterFS has a long response time in small files. For example, our Wordpress tests have shown that the time for opening web-pages increase by 3-4 times.
> However, which access restrictions should be imposed in exports? The easiest means is to allow access to storage only for the Cluster internal network and deny connection from port higher than 1024. You can do it here /storage 192.168.0.0/24(rw,sync,secure). Otherwise, you will have to customize authorization via Kerberos, which is much more difficult. |
