Hi Giacomo,
If your requirement is to get away with fuse/protocol clients and do
server-side operations, I think its doable by writing a simple libgfapi
application. But since there is no libgfapi API equivalent to "cp"
command, you may need to implement that functionality using "glfs_open,
glfs_read & glfs_write" APIs.
Here are the few links which Humble has documented on how to use
libgfapi and different APIs supported by it-
http://humblec.com/libgfapi-interface-glusterfs/
https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/blob/master/doc/features/libgfapi.md
Few sample examples (written in 'C' and 'python') are copied to -

Thanks,
Soumya

Hi John,
Thanks for your quick answer. Do you mean that my question can be
summarized in "can we do server-only operations?"? Yes, I think so.
Please let me know as soon as you receive any answer or provide me a
link where I can follow directly this case.
Thanks in advance and best regards,

Thanks, Giacomo. I'm sending this to the gluster-devel list - it's
an interesting question. Basically, can we do server-only operations?

Hello,
I am currently using GlusterFS version 3.5 with two bricks. What
I currently do is mounting the whole storage in some Linux
clients (RedHat) through fuse.glusterfs that (I think) uses NFS
in the background.
What I would like to do is copying a file from a directory to
another one in the storage in the quickest way. Using a "cp
file1 file2" from my RedHat client is not the best option
because the data flows from the storage to my RedHat client
through the network and then back to the storage. I would like
instead to avoid this waste of time and copy the file directly
from the 1st directory to the 2nd one. So, in a nutshell, I
would like to have file1 -> file2Â , instead of file1 ->
RedHatclient -> file2
Do you think is it possible, for example using libgfapi? Any
example to show me?
Thank you in advance and best regards,
