Craig - You can read from the back-end, but yes, we can't guarantee the timeliness or consistency of that data. Most users limit that access to backups, non-critical maintenance tasks.
Thanks, Craig --> Craig Carl Senior Systems Engineer Gluster From: "Craig Box" <[email protected]> To: "Craig Carl" <[email protected]> Cc: "Joshua Saayman" <[email protected]>, [email protected] Sent: Friday, October 22, 2010 7:25:33 AM Subject: Re: [Gluster-users] GlusterFS 3.1 on Amazon EC2 Questions Hi Craig, 2. You can read from the back end, all writes should go through the Gluster mount point. This contradicts what I have read in the past. If a file is out of date on the current node, you won't get the updated version, so you are always supposed to read from the mount point. Right? Craig
