Hi, I just discovered GlusterFS and it looks great ! I will definitely give it a try. Soon. In particular, the NUFA translator seems to meet my needs (use local resources as far as possible). I've read most of the documentation about NUFA but I still have some unanswered questions : - What happens if a node fills up its entire local storage ? Are new data transfered to another node ? Or does it crash ? - What about data protection ? As I understand it, if a node dies in a NUFA cluster, its files are gone with it ? On http://www.gluster.org/docs/index.php/GlusterFS_Roadmap_Suggestions Jshook say that in order to combine NUFA and afr functionnality, you just have to use afr with local volume name, and have read-subvolume option set to local volume. That's true in the case of a 2 nodes cluster, but in a 100 nodes cluster, you would still have the capacity of only 1 node, and 100 copies of each file. Am I right ? What would be great is to have the ability to create parity bricks : something like having 98 nodes in a NUFA cluster and 2 parity nodes that are just here in case a node (or two) went down. I saw that you had graid6 on your roadmap, so do you think that's possible ? And if so, when (approximately) ? Anyway, thanks for the work you made so far. I'll certainly be back annoying you when I'll start testing it ;-) Regards,
