Hello, I plan to do a small compiling farm. What would be the best architecture and mode to use? Initially, I was planning to have one server (which is also a client) and three other machines which are only clients. I am asking myself if having all machines acting both as client and server wouldn't be better. What I want to avoid is that when a file is read from the server the bandwidth is shared between clients to access this file. I'd like to have clients possessing a file help the server to distribute it to other nodes rather than having the server only serving files. I don't know if this is the default behavior of GlusterFS. The usage pattern would be like this I guess: all clients read almost all files from the source tree, each client produce and write a few files. Thank you, Francois.
