I want to store all applications on one brick, and all logs and cached
data into another brick, all user data and home directories in another
brick, and backups on another brick, etc.
Is there a way to do this, similiar to how replication is specified,
eg option datalocation /var/*:brick1,/home/*:brick2-afr
No, not by specifying an option, but you can simply have a number of
server bricks which will achieve that. Have a server for /var, a server
for /home - and have the client mount each server in the place thats
required.
This way, I can put more replication on user data, and less so on less
important data, similiar to how afr can specify which types of files get
x number of backups.
Having different servers, you could specify different afr across each
server doing exactly that.
If not, please add to feature request maybe to the unify translator.
I dont believe this is required. That would place too much complexity on
the unify xlator. Defining different servers and client mount points
should be the best way to go here :)
