The correct way of doing it, is to create a file on /mnt/replicate or /mnt/replicate2 (two mount-points are not necessary for correct working of replicate, unless you really want two mount points) and checking the backend directories (ls on both backend directories should show the file being created). > But if a do an "ls mnt/replicate" in the mounted directory the file is > correctly added on all nodes. > > did i must cron the "ls" in order to execute the replication ? > No, during normal operation, replicate automatically replicates. Only when there is a node failure, and when the node comes up you need to execute 'ls -lR /mnt/replicate" to heal the node which is up now with the node which was running fine. > did the cluster mode is not in "real time" and this is the standard > procedure ? > > > best regards > > > _______________________________________________ > Gluster-users mailing list > Gluster-users at gluster.org > http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users > > regards, -- Raghavendra G
