Hi Ken
Thanks for taking an interest. It would be on yet another VM server with pretty much the same configuration as the others. Are there certain things that could cause that to fail?
We may cluster the application server later if it's found to be a bottleneck, that's why I am flirting with the NFS. I was hoping that even if I don't cluster immediately, having /moodledata/ on another server will win something back in performance and provide good log data to analyse if more optimization is found to be needed. Seeing as I already have that third VM there to play with.
Is there an alternative way to mount or access /moodledata/ that is speedy and less risky than NFS? One that is compatible with a clustered application server.
