[gfarm-announce:00012] Re: How to use Multiple Metadata Servers on GFarm

[Osamu Tatebe <o.tatebe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Teerayut,

Let's move to gfarm-discuss ML.

This feature is not implemented yet.  What kind of features do you
assume or expect?

In the version 1.0.1, gfmd maintains process information not file
system metadata.  The file system metadata is maintained by an
openldap server (slapd).  This means it may be possible to use
multiple slapd using referrals, although we do not have an experience.

Thanks,
Osamu
