Hi, I have 4 server nodes set up, distributed over 2-replicated-nodes. volume client1a type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host gs1 option remote-port 7001 option remote-subvolume brick end-volume volume client2a type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host gs2 option remote-port 7001 option remote-subvolume brick end-volume volume client1b type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host gs1 option remote-port 7002 option remote-subvolume brick end-volume volume client2b type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host gs2 option remote-port 7002 option remote-subvolume brick end-volume volume afr1 type cluster/replicate subvolumes client1a client2a end-volume volume afr2 type cluster/replicate subvolumes client1b client2b end-volume volume distribute type cluster/distribute subvolumes afr1 afr2 end-volume I recently just noticed that there are some files missing, and when I check the nodes client1a and client1b, or client2a and client2b. I notice that on one node, the file appears as: ---------T 1 root root 0 2009-08-25 16:25 DSC01927.JPG ---------T 1 root root 0 2009-08-25 16:26 DSC01929.JPG ---------T 1 root root 0 2009-08-25 16:26 DSC01931.JPG ---------T 1 root root 0 2009-08-25 16:25 DSC01942.JPG ---------T 1 root root 0 2009-08-25 16:25 DSC01944.JPG ---------T 1 root root 0 2009-08-25 16:25 DSC01946.JPG ---------T 1 root root 0 2009-08-25 16:26 DSC01915.JPG ---------T 1 root root 0 2009-08-25 16:26 DSC01905.JPG ---------T 1 root root 0 2009-08-25 16:26 DSC01907.JPG But on the other node is fine. That is one problem, the other is that since files are distributed between client(1,2)a and client(1,2)b, why are the files appearing on both servers? Distribute should only copy files to one node or the other, not both. Regards, Simon
