hi all, what's the pros and cons of loadin zope of a shared disk aka thru nfs or samba? this on a LAN with Giga ether or fast ether. reasons for this - so that we can share database and have many frontends serving request. is this even possible?
I don't know about Samba, but Jim Fulton warns against _accessing_ Data.fs over NFS. It is a surefire way of corrupting it. About sharing the Data.fs between multiple Zope processes: Don't do it, it doesn't work. The Data.fs file is locked by the Zope process using it for a reason. For load balancing like this yuo will have to go with either ZEO, or some form of XML-RPC based load balancing (ie. write your own). -- Martijn Pieters, Software Engineer | Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com | Creators of Zope http://www.zope.org | mailto:mj@digicool.com ICQ: 4532236 | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 -------------------------------------------
