Re: multiple svn front-ends, single SAN repo volume

The current storage isn't on the SAN, so yes, we believe the new storage will be faster.  It's already many repositories, not a single one, so we're already in good shape there.   -- Bruce Z.

Is the current storage on the san?  If not, putting it there with fail-over svn servers fixes the reliability issue without introducing new locking issues.  And if the san is faster than the local disk it may help with speed as well.    Does it all have to be in a single repository?  If not, moving different parts to different svn servers spreads the load without sharing the same transaction lock. --   Les Mikesell     lesmikesell_at_gmail.com
