- Hello,
-
- We've a 9000/710 work station which is used to run a specialized
- image-processing application. For this application, both lots of swap space
- and lots of space to store images is needed.
-
- The 710 is served bij a 9000/750 with a 1.3Gb internal SCSI disk. Since this
- disk is almost full (yes, believe it or not :-\) we're thinking of a solution
- for the swapspace/diskspace problem.
-
- One of the things that came to mind is "localy mounted file systems". We're
- not sure how this works. Can we put a, let's say' 400Mb disk in the 710 and
- use it for both swapping and data-storage? If yes, are any specialties needed
- or can we just mount the disk on the 710 and access it transparantly?
-
- I've been reading the release notes for 8.0 and if I read it correctly:
- 1. A disk can be *physically* attached to any cnode in a cluster, but
- 2. can only be mounted on the rootserver???
- Or am I wrong on this?
-
- And what about 9.0? Will it have this "localy mounted file systems" too? Will
- it add anything to it??
-
- Any pointers on what we could do are greatly appreciated. I'll summarize in
- this group.
-
- Many thanks in advance,
