I hope that, before moving development resources to the WAN extension, some
more urgent features in the mainline will be implemented; one for all:
automatic self-heal startup.

Subject: Re: [Gluster-users] Gluster geo location setup?
As others responded, Gluster is not ready for WAN scenarios, and it is
unclear if/when it will be...
I am following the Gluster project closely, and have been using it for a
year now on various internal test clusters.
What can work for you right now is a project called 'sector-sphere'. It is
actually built with WAN in mind, is more secure than Gluster (uses
encryption), and even supports a topology map, something Gluster does not
do (yet).
(And by the way, even when it IS finally announced in Gluster, then based
on my experience with Gluster, I would be very wary to use the first
version until a second or third version is released with bug
fixes/improvements for the WAN mechanisms. Not trying to diss the
technology, just being responsible and think you should be cautious and
test things out thoroughly before pushing anything to production!).

Hiya
I would like to know if you can or if anyone is using Gluster in a
geolocation setup for a Distributed filesystem sense.
Reason I ask is. I got this two machines, and they are continents apart
(Datacentre South Africa (Johannesburg) and Datacentre Germany).
Currently Im using rsync to pull all updated and modified files.
I was hoping I could use Gluster as a Active / Active Filesystem.
If someone could share any thoughts or suggestions, it would be
appreciated.
Kind Regards
