I have 6 servers, each with 24 drives, and I'm upgrading to 3.1.x and want to redo my configuration from scratch. Really interested in some of the new options and configurations in 3.1, so now I want to get it setup right from the start. From this page:http://www.gluster.com/community/documentation/index.php/Gluster_3.1:_Configuring_Distributed_Replicated_Volumes I see this distributed, replicated, 6 server example: # gluster volume create test-volume replica 2 transport tcp server1:/exp1 server2:/exp2 server3:/exp3 server4:/exp4 server5:/exp5 server6:/exp6 Then from there I see an example more in line with what I'm trying to do here, but using 4 nodes: http://gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2010-December/006001.html # #gluster volume create vol1 replica 2 transport tcp server1:/mnt/array1 server2:/mnt/array1 server3:/mnt/array1 server4:/mnt/array1 server1:/mnt/array2 server2:/mnt/array2 server3:/mnt/array2 server4:/mnt/array2 server1:/mnt/array3 server2:/mnt/array3 server3:/mnt/array3 server4:/mnt/array3 server1:/mnt/array4 So, if I have the following servers: clustr-01 clustr-02 clustr-03 clustr-04 clustr-05 clustr-06 and all of my drives mounted under: /mnt/data01 /mnt/data02 /mnt/data03 /mnt/data04 /mnt/data05 [...] /mnt/data24 Should I issue a command like this to set it up: gluster volume create dist-datastore replica 2 transport tcp / clustr-01:/mnt/data01 clustr-02:/mnt/data01 clustr-03:/mnt/data01 clustr-04:/mnt/data01 clustr-05:/mnt/data01 clustr-06:/mnt/data01 / clustr-01:/mnt/data02 clustr-02:/mnt/data02 clustr-03:/mnt/data02 clustr-04:/mnt/data02 clustr-05:/mnt/data02 clustr-06:/mnt/data02 / clustr-01:/mnt/data03 clustr-02:/mnt/data03 clustr-03:/mnt/data03 clustr-04:/mnt/data03 clustr-05:/mnt/data03 clustr-06:/mnt/data03 / [...] clustr-01:/mnt/data24 clustr-02:/mnt/data24 clustr-03:/mnt/data24 clustr-04:/mnt/data24 clustr-05:/mnt/data24 clustr-06:/mnt/data24 So that each /mnt/dataxx is replicated and distributed across all 6 nodes? Then, once this is completed successfully, how do I map all /mnt/data01-24 to one mount point, say /mnt/cluster for example? Before I would have added this to /etc/fstab and done `mount -a` /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs.vol /mnt/cluster glusterfs defaults 0 0 Is there a better way in 3.1.x, should I use mount.glusterfs or ? Thanks P
