[Bio-Linux] Bio-Linux server to submit to Ubuntu cluster

[Ryan Johnson]

Hello all,

I have a cluster with 128 compute nodes that run vanilla Ubutnu 14.04 
and a PBS/Torque system. We run Galaxy as a separate machine with 
Bio-Linux 8 (which can be though of as the Galaxy head node). Currently 
to make it work I have the following directories exported as NFS mounts 
into the cluster compute nodes:

/etc/galaxy-server/
/var/lib/galaxy-server
/usr/lib/galaxy-server

We also have a cluster wide user called Debian-galaxy (which lives on 
the NIS *Yellow Pages*). Is this considered a safe and efficient way to 
operate our production Galaxy cluster?

Thank you for your help!

Regards,
Ryan
