System has ~ 10 million files over maybe 7Tb, running a simple unify, client is Linux with namespace Linux also. Generally, I would say things are 99.5% good, system seems to be holding together, I believe the only issues I have had related to attempting to bring in data on the servers( without gluster ) and then unify them. After that, anything written to the cluster seems very stable. In between I did do a lot of chopping/changing on namespace so I am sure that didn't help. I can't remember specifically if the client worked under freebsd ( I am quite sure it ended up working ), but as Amar has suggested AFR and stripe won't work, looks like because of the attributes. The only real gotcha I got, and this will relate to any unify/cluster setup I assume, is to make sure the namespace filesystem can support the number of files you have ( ie FREE INODES ) I got unstuck with this a couple of times, hence the reason for chopping/changing namespace. In the end I created a 10gb XFS loopback image under linux - but even now I just checked and I am nearly out of inodes again ! But at least I can easily resize it. Cheers Paul Arch
