Dear All ,
I read about mod_glusterfs a module for Apache . I understand that
mod_glusterfs is a module for apache-1.3.x written for efficient
serving of files from glusterfs( i.e to speed up the access of files
present on glusterfs). mod_glusterfs interfaces with glusterfs using
APIs provided by libglusterfsclient library provided for glusterfs and
hence can be used without FUSE (File System in User Space). FUSE
involves context switches which are sometimes a bit too expensive for
small files.mod_glusterfs , this is an apache module which lets you run
the filesystem inside apache address space (in a seperate thread) which
can greatly boost the performance of serving static files. Entire
GlusterFS filesystem can be embedded into a web farm of Apache or
Lighttpd web servers. This enables web requests to bypass kernel and
access data directly.
still I am not clear about this module . can you please explain ?
1). how does mod_glusterfs is working ? So that i will get more view .
I want to know more about . Because we are having small db files and also using Apache web server . I am exporting db file to client machine . where I have to use this module? whithout this module what is the issue?
Thanks for your time
L . Mohan
