Whole purpose of NUFA is to give affinity to local disks. In a replicated mode, writes have to be written across servers. We implemented NUFA solely for HPC scratch processing. For most work loads, plain distribute is recommended. See this example below: You need local-volume-name option. Make sure you also include write-behind, read-ahead and io-cache translators for performance. volume nufa type cluster/nufa option local-volume-name `hostname` # note the backquote, so 'hostname' output will be used as the option. subvolumes node01 node02 node03 node04 end-volume Fabio Bozzo wrote: > Hi.
