Uh oh. Maybe I missed reading something. Does NFS currently not work with glusterfs? I was planning on having a 3 server cluster that exported the mounted glusterfs directory to NFS on each of the 3 servers. On 6/14/07, Brent A Nelson <brent@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Since many people interested in GlusterFS also seem interested in fault-tolerance (and probably have clients that can't run GlusterFS), I though I'd point out an interesting project. Take a look at: http://ctdb.samba.org It is designed to use a cluster filesystem (such as GlusterFS) shared amongst a cluster that can reexport the filesystem from multiple members of the cluster as if they were one (LVS-style). Although obviously intended for Samba, it should work for NFS, too (they have instructions for it). So, you could have a cluster exporting GlusterFS, parallel CIFS, and parallel NFS! A fault-tolerant, high-performance fileserving jack-of-all-trades; very cool (could make an incredible NAS product; add more bricks, serve them up in parallel, handle redundancy and failover)... Of course, NFS reexport has to work first (SAMBA already seems to work fine on GlusterFS).
