That would be perfectly acceptable, as long as it would heal deterministically (last one wins, or renamed conflicting files) > In glusterfs, geo-replication is what you should use for WAN-separated sites. > Replicated volumes are for LAN scenarios where partitioning (and hence split- > brain) should not be expected to occur. Hmm, then I wonder how a high-availability scenario would work, if it is not allowed for a node to go down in a replica-mode setup... > If this doesn't meet your requirements then glusterfs is not the right tool > for > you. This would then probably be the case :( It's a pity, I liked the simplicity and straightforward setup of GlusterFS... Any recommendations what I should/could try out instead?
