Do I understand correctly: gluster peer attach would attach the probing server into the pool it is probing, correct? If so, and if it is already a member of a pool, could you join two different pools together? I don't know what the gluster internals implications are, but as long as I understand this correctly, then I think it would benefit the management side of glusterfs. It would certainly make peering more decentralized, as long as double peering or running a simultaneous peer attach and peer probe don't cause issues. This last point is very important :) Cheers, James _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
