Hi,

I'm looking for a sanity check on my AFR setup and a fix for an error.
I have 2 servers running a web front end using gluster for a redundant shared 
content area. I'm running Gluster 2.0.6 built from source on Ubuntu 6.06. This 
is the server, running on 192.168.0.1-2:

volume sharedcontent
  type storage/posix
  option directory /var/sharedcontent
end-volume

volume locks
  type features/locks
  subvolumes sharedcontent
end-volume

volume server
  type protocol/server
  option transport-type tcp/server
  option auth.ip.locks.allow 192.168.0.*,192.168.1.1
  option auth.ip.sharedcontent.allow 192.168.0.*,192.168.1.1
  subvolumes locks
end-volume

This is the client, running on the same machines (and possibly others in 
future):

volume www1
  type protocol/client
  option transport-type tcp/client
  option remote-host 192.168.0.1
  option remote-subvolume locks
end-volume

volume www2
  type protocol/client
  option transport-type tcp/client
  option remote-host 192.168.0.2
  option remote-subvolume locks
end-volume

volume sharedcontent
  type cluster/afr
  subvolumes www1 www2
end-volume

Does this look right? I had to add the locks volume to make it work after 
upgrading from 1.3.12. Is there some sensible naming scheme - ending up with 
the top-level volume 'locks' is very counterintuitive, and means I need to 
change the clients if I add filters on the server.

Are the auth.ip settings right? Do I need auth set on the 'sharedcontent' 
volume given that the clients only talk to 'locks'? Is the format right for 
allowing multiple address ranges (I've only found examples, no authoritative 
docs on this)?

I have the feeling that I'm missing out on some other features that gluster 
could use to improve performance on this, e.g. caching. Am I better off relying 
on OS-level caching?

Those two machines are working fine for now, but I'm having trouble adding a 
third. I'm getting "Transport endpoint is not connected" errors. I can telnet 
from the client into both servers, so it's not a firewall problem. I'm seeing 
this in logs:

The new client is running Ubuntu 9.10 and uses the standard glusterfs-client 
package, which is 2.0.2. Is that OK for connecting to a 2.0.6 server? I've seen 
various comments about version compatibility and the above errors but nothing 
conclusive. I'd like to stick to standard packages to ease management. If that 
won't work, are there any Ubuntu repos for later versions of gluster so I can 
avoid building from source?

Thanks for some great software!
