Hi all,
I've been lurking around for a while in digest mode and since it hasn't
been mentioned before, I thought I'd suggest that the server-admins to
take a look at
www.openmosix.org
It is a very easy to use clustering solution for Linux where servers
with high load can get help from servers with low load. It is applied
as a kernel patch (there are RPMs available too) but unfortunately the
latest kernel you can use is 2.4.22-3.
As I understand it, processor-power is one of the bottlenecks in the
system, and even though you use load-balancing the load isn't even. I
haven't tried this patch myself, but from what I read it is very easy
to implement and use.
I suppose this is no straightahead thing, but in case you weren't aware
of it...
