Hello all, Pardon my (clearly newbie) question, but what are the namespace bricks for, exactly ? I see that they are present in almost every example on the wiki, but having read a great deal of the documentation, i'm still fuzzy on exactly what this brick does, and how it incorporates into the storage definitions. Also, in the "Install_and_run_GlusterFS_v1.3_in_10mins" wiki article, the "Example 2 [3 servers, single client]" server config example contains this rather ominous warning : # Note: Once exported, DO NOT WRITE DIRECTLY TO THIS DIRECTORY This, of course, relates to the "volume brick" definition, which exports "/tmp/export" on each server. Why shouldn't we write to this directory after it has been exported ? Does it have something to do with the namespace, perhaps ? If the server generates some data which needs to be in the volume, and it can't (as per the warning) write directly to /tmp/export, how should it write the data to the volume instead ? Thank you all for your helpful responses thus far. -- Daniel Maher <dma AT witbe.net>
