  1. GFS question on Red Hat announces GFS · · Score: 1

    Can you answer me some GFS questions:
    Does the SRPMs run with Kernel 2.6?

    Does anybody got the server/client running already? Can you tell me the Distribution/Kernel?

    Can I have one subdir on my workstation which is the total amount of all harddiscs of my GFS Machines together? (Or if mirroring is used
    only 50% of the harddisc storage).

    Does GFS need a master server?

    The reason why I ask for is, I want a distributed filesystem to build a set-up for nutch. I am in the testing process actually with OpenAFS on SUSE 9.0 and also would like to test other distributed filesystems.

  2. Re:I'm not sure which niche MySQL is supposed to f on Managing and Using MySQL: Second Edition · · Score: 1

    I have never been able to tell which niche MySQL is supposed to occupy. Is there really a niche where it doesn't matter if the database is corrupted? Is there really any niche where it doesn't matter if transactional integrity isn't maintained? MySQL does not provide any recovery functionality!

    MySQL is Nr. 1 within the "el cheapo" niche.

    Its "everything goes" software if you do not have any budget.

    Even years ago, lots of Webproviders offered Webpages with PHP+MySQL for some pocket money. You couldnt find that with PostgreSQL or MS SQL Server or similar systems. Today it is more or less the same.

    I mean Data is not safe and is never safe and it wont be any saver if you have no knowledge. But getting into PHP+MySQL is easy, so you can get MySQL knowledge easy and can use it well. Not everybody can invest in experienced Database admins + Sysadmins + Programmers + Maintainers + OS/Software/Hardware.

    See it this way, if you make polls on Webpages and a search engine and a Forum and stuff like that, the data has no value at all. Would you care about that data? In case you would lost some, you could install new or replay an old backup set!

    Here are 3 big advantages for Beginners:
    PhpMyAdmin - Idiot proof Admin-Interface to MySQL, you upload it and you run it, no SQL knowledge needed to create/delete/move a database. Good part, it became so popular that PostgreSQL benefits from PhpPgAdmin now.

    New Riders, Title: MySQL, Editor: Paul Du Bois.
    It makes a perfect MySQL Handbook. If I would run that MySQL company, I would license it and add it into every sold copy of MySQL.

    Foxserv - WAMP for idiots, unzip and go.

    I mean what more can one expect? You will need anything "save stuff" only and only if you are going to do something that you will switch on today and you want it running reliable for a long time.

    Such a thing can only be archived with system and brains. I say you need so many stuff to develeop and run a Database reliable with no downtimes that you would not believe it yourself. 1 perfect Database = 1 Million USD per year.

    1 MySQL Database = 1060 USD per year. 1000 USD for the amateur contractor and 5 USD/Month for the Webserver.

  3. Re:Where can I get the google source? on Google Doubles Server Farm · · Score: 2

    There is a project under GPL which is to be
    found under http://www.aspseek.org

    It is a deep crawler that works well, I did
    compile the actual stable Version under SUSE 7.0
    and get it running together with MySQL.

    ASPseek is not google but I would say that
    it imitates google a little bit. You can
    give it a try. I guess you do not need
    4 PCs. Crawling/searching on my Celeron333
    Server with 160 MB RAM and IDE HD did
    not stressed the machine. I dont know
    what happens if you got lots of pages.

    ASPseek people say that their baby got
    4 million pages indexed.
