Subversion over a SAN
Hi everybody
I'm planing to deploy subversion in my company.
All the servers are using SAN (Datacore SanSymphony, http://www.datacore.com/products/prod_SANsymphony.asp) My question is: could I install subversion over it. Is it possible with the data files ? Is there any problem like with NFS or SMB ?
Thank's for your answer
Barry

Hi Mukund
Thank's for your answer
The big deal is that i don't have those informations.
The SAN control is done by a service, the servers are controled by another,
and I belong to another one ... But I know there is some oracle database
install on it.
I'll try to contact datacore ...

You probably could depending on how you use it. I am not sure what
features of this product you'll be using, but you can certainly use it
on a SAN as long as only *one* node is talking to the block storage
volume and has a single filesystem on it, and you use a common Linux/BSD
filesystem.
Subversion uses the Berkeley DB database to store its repository's
contents. I don't think any developers on this list have experience with
its operation on clustered filesystems if you're using any. Also, using
Berkeley DB on NFS is a big no-no currently (see
http://www.sleepycat.com/docs/ref/env/remote.html), so you cannot use
that for your Subversion server side. It may be okay for clients to
store their working copies though. I do not know about CIFS.
So, as long as you have a single node using a normal native filesystem
on the block device in your SAN for the server side of things, you
should be fine.
