QoS delivery on the filesystem

Posted by: Anonymous Coward on October 11, 2003 02:17 AM
Allegedly this is possible on XFS, but I've not seen a HOW-TO.

It would be sweet if I could guarantee disk rates for different applications... I could save a bundle by consolidating a few servers.

Network QoS doesn't do the job I want... I want to give higher priority to CIFS streams by Marketing (streaming video over CIFS), but lower CIFS performance for say Administrative folks who just copy files around. You can't do that per-user with Network QoS... (not really anyways).
