Hello everyone, Suppose we want to build a new GPFS storage using SAN attached storages, but instead to put metadata in a shared storage, we want to use FusionIO PCI cards locally on the servers to speed up metadata operation( http://www.fusionio.com/products/iodrive) and for reliability, replicate the metadata in all the servers, will this work in case of server failure? To make it more clear: If a server fail i will loose also a metadata vdisk. Its the replica mechanism its reliable enough to avoid metadata corruption and loss of data?
