Dear all,
I just subscribed and started reading archives, and I have two points where
I'm unsure of my conf, and I don't want to start wrong...
I used glusterfs-volgen to generate my conf, which is at this point :
* glusterfsd.vol :

subvolumes locks1
end-volume
volume posix2
type storage/posix
option directory /srv/glus2
end-volume
volume locks2
type features/locks
subvolumes posix2
end-volume
volume brick2

end-volume

and 1 brick on 2 others nodes not shown)

*************************************************** (one brick
replicated 3 times, one brick on just a node)
I've tried this on 4 lenny box, ok (3 servers and 1 client)
So my questions :
- when I mount the node with 2 bricks, I use :
# mount -t glusterfs -o volume-name=statprefetch 192.168.108.83 /mnt/glus
# mount -t glusterfs -o volume-name=statprefetch2 192.168.108.83 /mnt/glus2
ok, but I am right to choose statprefetch ? I guess because it seems on
"top of stack",
but maybe a weird thing ? If I try "volume-name=brick1", it doesn't work.
If I say "volume-name=192.168.108.83-1" it's ok, but will I get the
performances
enhancements by choosing the "bottom of stack" ?
- when I use glusterfs-volgen asking for a 3 nodes mirror, it complains
about "wrong
number of nodes for replication" - however, making conf by hand like the
one above,
replication seems to work ok on the 3 nodes (and I have find somewhere a
3-nodes conf on
internet) : again, doing something weird ?
And a little "wish-list" :
I would be very pleased if some userquota capabilities would be included
on a future glusterfs version (I saw a post about this on the ML, so I
join my voice !)
Many thanks for any answer !
Cheers
DB
