It goes not that well. For now I test on a double server setup on a
single host (kernel 3.1.10).

I can't get varstrip_dist to work at all. Due to some unknown issue
Value of the Parameter varstrip_dist is not recognized. I attached
configuration files for both daemons. On attempt to create any file
in client's log I got this:

[E 08:10:06.767328] ERROR: Parameter 'strips' empty!
[E 08:10:06.767363] Error: missing manditory parameters to varstrip_dist

But as you can see strips is provided with a value:
        <Distribution>
                Name varstrip_dist
                Param strips
                Value 0:128K; 1:32K;

Hi Andrew,

I don't know if this is your problem or not, but you probably need to remove the whitespace in the above line so that it looks like "Value 0:128K;1:32K".

thanks,

         </Distribution>

Maybe some parser problem, I haven't debugged this. This problems
occurs without any patches from my side.

On the bright side I implemented LayoutAlgo option to specify default
data layout in the config file in the Defaults section. It seems to work
well, tested with default simple_stripe distribution. Option accepts
following values:
     none, round-robin, random;
no support for the list layout as this will overcomplicate code and is
questionably needed. Patch is attached.

Best regards,
Andrew Savchenko
