Elspeth's New Place

Across from the convenience store at the corner of Frederick and Filbert Streets in Kitchener. It's big, beautiful (in a 70's, smoked glass / dark hardwood floors kind of way) and best of all it makes her happy. I wonder how best to modify my route to the cottage to swing by her place?

Cluster Filesystems

Apparently these things are out of the lab and ready for production. Or at least that's what the marketing departments are saying. I'm going to use this post to keep track of investigations into the following file systems, with the hope of separating reality from hype. Eventually this might even turn into a proper article. But probably not.

1. ADIC SNFS
2. IBM GPFS
3. CFS Lustre

If you know me, then the goal will be obvious: finally a reliable, scalable, high performance file system upon which to host high availability PostgreSQL databases.

Look, it's me, drunk... in Cuba!
