Hi guys I've been playing around with GlusterFS because I was hoping to replace DRBD with it. Maybe I'm getting something wrong, but it doesn't seem as robust or dependable as DRBD. I just want to setup 2 GlusterFS with striping (I believe the correct term is really AFR with GlusterFS), for high availability. So far I've found the performance very slow, with 3-7MB/s and that if you shut down one GlusterFS server, you will get "Transport endpoint is not connected" when trying to write data. Here are my config files: ### Add client feature and attach to remote subvolume of server1 volume brick1 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 192.168.1.21 # IP address of the remote brick option remote-subvolume brick # name of the remote volume end-volume ### Add client feature and attach to remote subvolume of server2 volume brick2 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 192.168.1.22 # IP address of the remote brick option remote-subvolume brick # name of the remote volume end-volume ### The file index on server1 volume brick1-ns type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 192.168.1.21 # IP address of the remote brick option remote-subvolume brick-ns # name of the remote volume end-volume ### The file index on server2 volume brick2-ns type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 192.168.1.22 # IP address of the remote brick option remote-subvolume brick-ns # name of the remote volume end-volume #The replicated volume with data volume afr1 type cluster/afr subvolumes brick1 brick2 end-volume #The replicated volume with indexes volume afr-ns type cluster/afr subvolumes brick1-ns brick2-ns end-volume #The unification of all afr volumes (used for > 2 servers) volume unify type cluster/unify option scheduler rr # round robin option namespace afr-ns subvolumes afr1 end-volume # file: /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-server.vol volume posix type storage/posix option directory /data/export end-volume volume locks type features/locks subvolumes posix end-volume volume brick type performance/io-threads option thread-count 8 subvolumes locks end-volume volume posix-ns type storage/posix option directory /data/export-ns end-volume volume locks-ns type features/locks subvolumes posix-ns end-volume volume brick-ns type performance/io-threads option thread-count 8 subvolumes locks-ns end-volume volume server type protocol/server option transport-type tcp option auth.addr.brick.allow * option auth.addr.brick-ns.allow * subvolumes brick brick-ns end-volume Any comments/help would be appreciated. Thank you.
