I would recommend that you try running this with just single links at first before you go to bonding. I've been using bonding (balanced-alb - Mode 6), and I have been finding some strange lag for "stat" operations like "ls", etc. I did a test with only single links and it appears to have better performance. If you find that you are saturating the single links, then explore the bonded links/faster interconnects. -----Original Message----- From: gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org [mailto:gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org] On Behalf Of Joelly Alexander Sent: Wednesday, February 24, 2010 2:44 PM To: gluster-users at gluster.org Subject: two node glusterfs with afr and dedicated replication interface? hi, i want to setup a two node glusterfs with afr; my servers have 4x 1gb interfaces build in, so i thought if it is possible to connect the two nodes together on two interfaces with bonding mode 0 for replication and the other two as additional bonding interface for redundancy to serve data to the clients? thx _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users at gluster.org http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
