<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>University of California, Davis, runs a campus sakai
application. Sakai is a group of modules that provides online courseware to the
campus. The application is supported by universities worldwide. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We are running sakai using RHEL 4.0. We have six application
servers that retrieve and update files stored in our AFS (Andrew File System)
infrastructure service. There is currently about 500GB of data stored there,
and we anticipate this will grow to 1TB over the next year or two. We are
considering moving that data to an OCFS2 file system on an EMC SAN, using fiber
channel connections to the application servers. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Can anyone give us some idea of their usage? How large have
the file systems grown? How many nodes are connected? Any issues with expansion?
Any information would be appreciated. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
