Re: qmail-ldap and GFS

Hi, You can have performace problems with the io/s from your filesystem, is
a problem inherent to hardware (disk and network).
I have a similar escenario with all mailboxes in a NFS server. In my setup
the filesystem is over a SAN disk distributed over a great numbre of disks
with lvm and the nfs server have ethernet cards with 10G in a 802.3ad
bonding. This setup have H.A. with heartbeat with other node as backup. This
is an older setup and I only have changed the hardware, but I'm thinking
make a H.A. active-active with two options:
One similar to you with gfs or oraclefs
And other creating two nfs shares (one for every nfs server), with the user
distributed over the two shares, and one server acting as backup of the
other.

In my actual config I don't have any problem. Only a clue, don't use
reiserfs for NFS exported filesystem, was my error.
