Hi dCache.org,
does a read-only pool also address the redundancy feature request?
I'm envisioning a setup where there are a number of writable pools for data upload/import and the same number of additional pools that are read-only, but access the same pool data directories. E.g. read-only-pool
facilitates access on writable_pool
's inventory. There are probably a myriad of edge-cases I don't know, while only one seems really problematic to me: writable_pool
should not delete any files that are opened through read-only-pool
. One would need a POSIX unlink
, where the source becomes inaccessible for future use, but current operations are unaffected.
