Hi list, First off, sorry if this message seems to ramble about. It's been a long day that stretched through too many days. I'm currently reviewing gluster as storage for our servers. While not storing a massive data set (yet), it is starting to grow. The current setup is one that I inherited and basically has nothing going for it at the moment. No redundancy, back up policies are next to non-existent and if it all falls apart, I get to pick up the pieces and try to put them back together. I'm trying to get a requisition through finance at the moment for additional hardware. Anyway, we are running postgres for our databases. I was wondering how well gluster fares with DB's? Drawbacks? Recommendations? I'll be putting up and running a few VM's with gluster and run some tests to simulate the typical workload for a day. It's usually more writes through the day with sporadic reads when reports are generated. I've gone through the docs on the community site, but it's a bit short where DB's are concerned. Either that or I'm looking at it backwards and shouldn't be too concerned about running postgres on top of gluster. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! JC de Villa
