Hello!
Please send me some comments, if openAFS is usable to mass vhost cluster. I'm designing cluster for 1500 different websites with high availibility. I can use either some dedicated storage arrays, or DFS. The last one seems to be very interesting. But - can I predict any problems on utilizing AFS rather then NFS? Any problems with apache + PHP via CGI expected (any file owner/security problems perhaps? ). And most important - can I expect some performance downgrade. If anybody has some experience in this matter, I woulg gladly hear Your opinion.
