I've done this a few years ago but there were serious overhead problems with gigE (even with jumbo frames). This is a good way of merging a traditional SAN with gluster but there's little advantage if you are using commodity equipment. It's better to just have the machine exporing the iscsi lun to just act as a second gluster server. There has been talk about a delayed-write mirror before for offsite and slower mirroring maybe a dev can tell us how far out that is. Currently every write would have to occur before the client could continue. -Mickey Mazarick Marcus Bointon wrote: > I'm just wondering how gluster and iscsi might work together. I suspect that in many situations they could be used interchangeably, but how about them working together? If a setup providing a gluster AFR service was on top of remote iSCSI targets, would protocol overhead become a serious problem? > > Marcus > --
