[Gluster-users] unequal components to type cluster/distribute

2014-01-16 Thread William L. Sebok
There has been discussion in the past about improvement in the way glusterfs handles unequal components in a distribute, for instance unequal size brick pairs in a distribute/replicate cluster. Has this happened and I missed it? I don't see this listed as a feature in any of the new glusterfs

Thank you. This is the main new feature I care about in glusterfs (except, of course, stability). --- Bill Sebok On Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 05:41:28PM -0500, Jeffrey Darcy wrote: - Original Message - There has been discussion in the past about improvement in the way glusterfs

[Gluster-users] kernel nfsv4 vs gluster nfs

2012-07-26 Thread William L. Sebok
I have a cluster whose members are connected with a private network. I want to export a glusterfs volume and also root directories to run some diskless computers. I don't quite trust gluster nfs enough to do diskless booting off of a gluster volume so I want to use kernel nfs for them. The

This is another reason why it there *really* should be a way with the CLI to have an option that GlusterNFS be enabled on only one machine in a cluster (I've asked for that before). Our cluster has a private network. Inside the cluster private network I use native glusterfs mounts. Outside the

Adding an option to disable the Gluster NFS server is in the works (http://bugs.gluster.com/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2094). Previous versions of Gluster just re-exported the native client to a uNFS or kNFS service. I think the closer integration may have resolved a lot of these
