Hi, I have a question of coda feasibility for an application I have in mind. I would like to implement coda for the following scenario. I have 3 identical servers, each of which has a very very large hardware-raided set of disks, so it appears to linux (redhat) as a large 700 GB hard drive, where I store users mail directories. What I would like to do is setup these three machines as CODA servers with replication, so each one is an exact mirror of the other 2. Is this what happens under replication? I hope so, because this is what I want. Anyway I want to store these in geographically disparate locations. At each location I want to have CODA clients, which run the mail delivery software. Anyway my question is that, is it possible to have coda with such large servers, because, as I am reading the administration manual, it seems to imply that the maximum size of the RVM log partition is 130 Megs, good up to 3.3 Gigs, thereby kind of implying the largest coda server data size can be only 3.3 gigs. Extrapolating this value, it seems I would need an 18gig partition to hold the log file, which is not a problem spacewise, but will I take a performance hit, and will coda let me have such a large rvm log partition? Does anyone have any suggestion what I can do? I would really rather prefer to keep the large volume, if possible. Thank you very much Zachary __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo! Personals. http://personals.yahoo.comReceived on 2001-10-11 01:02:24
