Hello, we are testing glusterfs 1.2 and I have few questions - 1. we are going to store millions of small jpg files that will be read by webserver - is glusterfs good solution for this ? 2. we are going to run both server+clients on each node together with apache 3. replicate *:2 the way i think doing replicate is defining on each server 2 volumes and using AFR: server1: a1, a2 server2: b1, b2 server3: c1, c2 server4: d1, d2 server5: e1, e2 afr1: a1+b2 afr2: b1+c2 afr3: c1+d2 afr4: d1+e2 afr5: e1+a2 and then unify = afr1+afr2+afr3+afr4+afr5 with replicate option is this correct way ? and what to do on the future when we add more nodes ? when changing the afr (adding and changing the couples) making glusterfs redistribute the files the new way ? 4. what happens when a hard drive goes down and replaces, the cluster also redistribute the files ? Thanks, Shai ------------------------------
