Hi. I have a question regarding expanding a glusterfs system which probably been answered but still. Lets say I use Unify over AFR and have 3 nodes where each file is replicated twice. Probably first hand a client file like the one on the web. volume brick1 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client # for TCP/IP transport option remote-host 192.168.1.1 # IP address of the remote brick option remote-subvolume brick # name of the remote volume end-volume volume brick2 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 192.168.1.2 option remote-subvolume brick end-volume volume brick3 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 192.168.1.3 option remote-subvolume brick end-volume volume brick-ns1 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 192.168.1.1 option remote-subvolume brick-ns end-volume volume brick-ns2 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 192.168.1.2 option remote-subvolume brick-ns end-volume volume afr1 type cluster/afr subvolumes brick1 brick2 end-volume volume afr2 type cluster/afr subvolumes brick2 brick3 end-volume volume afr-ns type cluster/afr subvolumes brick-ns1 brick-ns2 end-volume volume unify type cluster/unify option namespace afr-ns option scheduler rr subvolumes afr1 afr2 end-volume And after I add another node I add the following: .... volume brick4 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 192.168.1.4 option remote-subvolume brick end-volume .... volume afr3 type cluster/afr subvolumes brick3 brick4 end-volume .... volume unify type cluster/unify option namespace afr-ns option scheduler rr subvolumes afr1 afr2 afr3 end-volume So the question is really: Will the new node4 get the data from node3 automatically ? I appreciate any answers. Kindly //Marcus -- Marcus Herou CTO and co-founder Tailsweep AB +46702561312 marcus.herou@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.tailsweep.com/ http://blogg.tailsweep.com/
