Element Description Value
Identifier resource ID http://old.zope.org/Members/htrd/ReplicatedFileStorage
Title resource name Replicated FileStorage
Description resource summary <p>Replicated-ZEO promises great ways to deal with a storage server being destroyed; It should transparently avoid avoiding downtime, and <a href="http://www.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/ZEOReplicatedStorage/SurviveTotalLossOfStorage"> prevent data loss even if a storage server is destroyed</a>. Unfortunately, Replicated ZEO is not yet released (as of July 2001).</p> <p>Until replicated-ZEO is released, ReplicatedFileStorage provides an easy way of preventing data loss, by ensuring that data is safely synced onto multiple disks before allowing a ZODB transaction to commit.</p> <p>ReplicatedFileStorage has three main advantages over other OS-level solutions to this problem (such as network RAID):</p> <ul> <li>Minimal administrative hassle.</li> <li>Easily add and remove replicas.</li> <li>Flexibility in configuring how many replicas are necessary.</li> </ul> <p>If you are reading this after replicated-ZEO has been released then you probably should be using that instead.</p> <p>This product has been tested so far on Linux and Windows. On Linux it works great, but on Windows it never proved reliable. I assume someone with more experience of async sockets on windows should be able to fix it up; please let me know if you do..</p> <h4>Current Status</h4> <p>This product "works", and it has saved me from a couple of disasters, but I am no longer using it internally so please consider this product <i>unsupported</i>. I would be happy for anyone else to take up maintenance of ReplicatedFileStorage... any takers?</p>
