Round robin DNS is already set up : [dfsA]# grep "remote-host" glusterfs-client.vol option remote-host cluster.storage-net.gfs # RRDNS [dfsA]# host cluster.storage-net.gfs cluster.storage-net.gfs has address 10.0.0.40 cluster.storage-net.gfs has address 10.0.0.41 A graphical overview of the test network : http://tinypic.info/files/xhvyldlesd8igvjt8yl1.png The server configuration : http://pastebin.ca/967749 The client configuration : http://pastebin.ca/967754 See also my previous email : http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gluster-devel/2008-04/msg00010.html > This can answer your question to your other mail that was sent just > now. If my setup is wrong (re: "you don't need unify/namespace for your setup"), then the example at the wiki is also wrong, since i followed it exactly : http://www.gluster.org/docs/index.php/GlusterFS_1.3_High_Availability_Storage_with_GlusterFS How, then, should my configuration (and the wiki) be changed ? -- Daniel Maher <dma AT witbe.net>
