Hello Pille, Snapshot functionality is not currently built into Gluster. You can, however, take snapshots of the filesystems underneath Gluster. In order to get a consistent snapshot, things will have to be coordinated. You can use a tool such as PSSH to execute commands on multiple servers simultaneously, so this may be somewhat effective for doing this. -Jacob -----Original Message----- From: gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org [mailto:gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org] On Behalf Of pille Sent: Friday, December 17, 2010 2:55 AM To: gluster-users at gluster.org Subject: snapshots hi, there was a thread some time ago asking whether there's a snapshot feature in glusterfs. however - it wasn't positively answered. just a pointer to implement it with a underlaying LVM. so here i ask again: is it possible to create a snapshot view of a glusterfs? how can i do so? if i'm doing it on the LVM level, how can i be sure to make the snapshot consistent on all replicated nodes? cheers pille _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users at gluster.org http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
