    Storage Openstack

    Hi all,

    I'm wondering... is it possible, to configure openstack on Ubuntu 12.04, and use it as a type of file server, i.e. it has a a few giga bytes from a machine or two, and then use these available resources to share files. It will be done over LAN and on virtual machines.

    I've spent some time on it and now I'm worried that when I've got it Openstack, nova, object/swift etc, up and running it would have been all in vain.

    Could you guys guide me.

    I've been using the following book - OpenStack Cloud Computing Cookbook - to configure openstack on ubuntu server 12.04 via virtualbox on windows.

    Thank you all in advance!

    Danny

    The newer nova versions support NFS, just set up NFS shares on your servers and then mount them on your stack server. Then you can r/w to them as if they are a local disk. You can deploy instances to them as well by mapping your _base folder..

    You probably don't need full blown openstack for this, you can just use cpeh: http://ceph.com/

    (It's in Ubuntu already!)

    Spend some time here if you want to install a "personal cloud". http://devstack.org/ Ask Elizabeth for a copy of her talk: https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale...s/ubuntu-cloud.
