Hello! 2009/10/26 Daniel Meier <webdeveloper.dan at gmail.com>: > Hi list > > I'm new with GlusterFS. I managed to compile and install the current > GlusterFS on two machines. I configured them as "distributed, > replicated volumes" according to the wiki. With two servers, I'd use either "replicate" (if I want all files stored on both nodes) or distribute (if I just want to aggregate disk space to one big volume) - using both of them together in one volume does not have any advantage with two servers, IMHO. http://www.gluster.com/community/documentation/index.php/Storage_Server_Installation_and_Configuration#Configuring_Distributed_Volumes http://www.gluster.com/community/documentation/index.php/Storage_Server_Installation_and_Configuration#Creating_Replicated_Volumes > glusterfsd is now running on both systems.

If you want to find out more (and have spare time :-) ), I'd suggest to browse the Wiki and take a look at the mailing list archive. Harald St?rzebecher --
