Hi All： I wanted to use GlusterFS as a share storage to connect with vmware. But the nfs protocol had a poor performance when the scalability got larger.(I have 20 servers as a GlusterFS) So I figured out a way when I saw the wiki of Ceph http://ceph.newdream.net/wiki/Re-exporting_NFS I think that I can add a middle-converter between vmware and GlusterFS. It can connect with vmware by nfs and mount GlusterFS by glusterfs. Here is the architecture I thought.......
And then I had a problem. The middle-tier is OK to connect with GlusterFS by glusterfs protocol. But the errors happened when vmware connects with middle-tier by nfs protocol. The vmware cannot mount middle-tier by nfs at the first time. Even if vmware can mount the middle-tier by nfs, it cannot see the data in the GlusterFS. It can only see the data(directory) in the middle-tier Does anyone have the same problem as I ? How do you solve this thorny problem? Thanks in advance.
