Ok, I'm making some progress here I think. Is there any philosophy in glusterfs as to what should happen on the server vs. the client and in which order the translators should be stacked? I've come to the conclusion that glusterfs on one brick with one real filesystem doesn't help much. I have 4 filesystems set up and I can grab a few more if needed. And is there any way to gracefully turn striping on and off without off loading everything or not? I'm thinking not. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Johnson |Internet: johnson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Systems Administrator |Web: http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/~johnson NMR Center |Voice: 617.726.0949 Mass.
