This is good advice. The real issue is when upgrading my cluster to new HD's we have run
into an issue with a specific query. I have reported this to the support at mysql but
have not found a solution. So I am a bit concerned and do not want to upgrade my primary
cluster drives until I get the other issue resolved. The NFS is actually a connection to
a large storage array are you suggesting a fiber san? Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks Joshua Gordon

agree ... personally i'd store backups locally first and use
rsync (with --bwlimit option to make sure that the network is
not saturated by this -> so it does not affect latency in cluster
node communication) to have centralized copies of the backups
for the case that a data nodes local disk fails.
Or use a reliable shared SAN device ... NFS i'd personally not
trust enough for this either ...
