This is basically the config I'm using for replicate a directory between two hosts (RAID 1 if you like ;-) ) You need server and client even both are on the same host: ########################## # glusterfsd.vol (server): ########################## volume posix type storage/posix option directory /some_folder end-volume volume locks type features/locks subvolumes posix end-volume volume server type protocol/server option transport-type tcp option transport.socket.bind-address ....... option transport.socket.listen-port 6996 option auth.addr.locks.allow * subvolumes locks end-volume ######################### # glusterfs.vol (client): ######################### volume remote1 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp option remote-host <ip_or_name_of_box_a> option remote-port 6996 option remote-subvolume locks end-volume volume remote2 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp option remote-host <ip_or_name_of_box_b> option remote-port 6996 option remote-subvolume locks end-volume volume replicate type cluster/replicate # optionally but useful if most is reading # !!!different values for box a and box b!!! # option read-subvolume remote1 # option read-subvolume remote2 subvolumes remote1 remote2 end-volume ##################### # /etc/fstab ##################### /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs.vol /some_folder glusterfs noatime 0 0 "noatime" is optional of course. Depends on your needs. - Robert On 04/16/10 14:18, pawel eljasz wrote: > dear all, I just subscribed and started reading docs, > but still not sure if I got the hung of it all > is GlusterFS for something simple like: > > a box <-> b box > /some_folder /some_folder > > so /some_folder on both boxes would contain same data > > if yes, then does setting only the servers suffice? or client side is > needed too? > can someone share a simplistic config that would work for above simple > design? > > cheers > > > > _______________________________________________ > Gluster-users mailing list > Gluster-users at gluster.org > http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
