GFS is for what and how it works ?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Sorry, I'm newbie in GFS.

Followed Redhat's GFS documentation 
To find out how GFS works, I have 2 nodes (node A and node B) for GFS and 1 node (node C) for GNBD server. It runs with no error but i don't know how to use it (GFS)

I attached my /etc/cluster/cluster.conf below.

My question is:

1. At a time, how many nodes have GFS filesystem mounted ? Where is the cluster's work in GFS ?
2. How do I shared the GFS filesystem to other server ? Do I need other software ?
3. From this configuration, if node A failed, what happen to the GFS filesystem ? failover to node B ? How about with the other server that is using the GFS filesystem in node A ?
4. Could you give me example what is actually the GFS real usage in real live ? 

I'm absolutely confuse with this GFS on how they works.

Thanks
