Creating An NFS-Like Standalone Storage Server With GlusterFS On Debian Lenny
This tutorial shows how to set up a standalone storage server on Debian Lenny. Instead of NFS, I will use GlusterFS
here. The client system will be able to access the storage as if it was
a local filesystem. GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of
scaling to several peta-bytes. It aggregates various storage bricks
over Infiniband RDMA or TCP/IP interconnect into one large parallel
network file system. Storage bricks can be made of any commodity
hardware such as x86-64 servers with SATA-II RAID and Infiniband HBA. Read more: |

Using ATA Over Ethernet (AoE) On Fedora 10 (Initiator And Target)
This guide explains how you can set up an AoE target and an AoE initiator (client), both running Fedora 10. AoE
stands for "ATA over Ethernet" and is a storage area network (SAN)
protocol which allows AoE initiators to use storage devices on the
(remote) AoE target using normal ethernet cabling. "Remote" in this
case means "inside the same LAN" because AoE is not routable outside a
LAN (this is a major difference compared to iSCSI). To the AoE
initiator, the remote storage looks like a normal, locally-attached
hard drive. Read more: |

High-Availability Storage Cluster With GlusterFS On Ubuntu
In this tutorial I will show you how to install GlusterFS in a scalable
way to create a storage cluster, starting with 2 servers on Ubuntu 8.04
LTS server. Files will be replicated and splitted accross all servers
which is some sort of RAID 10 (raid 1 with < 4 servers). With 4
servers that have each 100GB hard drive, total storage will be 200GB
and if one server fails, the data will still be intact and files on the
failed server will be replicated on another working server. GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of scaling to several
peta-bytes. It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA
or TCP/IP interconnect into one large parallel network file system.
Storage bricks can be made of any commodity hardware such as x86-64
server with SATA-II RAID and Infiniband HBA.
