I've just done part one of a writeup of my EC2 gluster LAMP installation
at

- may or may not be useful to you :-)

Yes, that's an idea. Thanx. That will be important for all the debian
clients, mostly lenny.
I think waiting and testing a month is quite ok though.
To have glusterfs 3.0.3 on ubuntu 9.10 you can also just install the
debian package for gluster 3.0.3 with dpkg -i.
http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/glusterfs
But then 10.04 is only a month away, so depends how much of a rush
your in!

I tried out Gentoo a while ago but I droped it because all the
compiling took way too long. The big plus here is the big minus on
debian like systems. The current Ubuntu 9.10 for example has
glusterfs 2.0.9, period. If you want to have 3.0.2 then you have to
wait for Ubuntu 10.04 or you compile it.
But now that we have (almost) 10.04 with 3.0.2 I'll take this way.
Having such a system up and running on recent hardware is a matter
of maybe 10 or 20 minutes.
Cheers!

Hi all,
I just made some tests on two old machines using Ubuntu 10.4
(server i386) with fuse-2.7.4glfs11 and glusterfs-3.0.3. At a
first glance it seems to be OK.
The next step is deploying a system which could be used for
production. What would you suggest? Ubuntu 10.4 (server 64bit)
is my first choice because of LTS. Whatsoever, I think it is
more the version of glusterfs which makes it stable or not,
isn't it? In the end I'd like to have a distributed&
replicated storage which provides data for a bunch of
(virtualized) LAMPS.
TIA for your recommendations!
I'm intrigued. I had not realised that there were other options
than Gentoo for use on a server?! (Bang up to date, flexible
configuration and strong support of various virtualisation
solutions. Slight negative in update speeds, but can be
mitigated by using a binary package cache)
Will try out those new fangled options you suggested above, but in
the meantime have a look at Gentoo (at least if you are fairly
confident with your linux skills). Big plug for linux-vservers
also, especially in combination with some custom server profiles
to define required software versions and options
Good luck
