Thanks, that worked. I copied /etc/glusterd/nfs/nfs-server.vol to the other server, started glusterfsd and I could mount the volume via NFS on a client. > Performance will also drop because now both your replicas are another > network hop away. I guess the ideal situation would be to allow gnfs to run > even when there is already a server running. Its on the ToDo list. That would be good. However, would it also be possible for this other server to join as a non-contributing peer (i.e. it's not sharing its disk) but act only as the NFS server? This way I don't need to copy over the volume file manually and leave it to glusterd to set everything up. Would be a nice stop-gap workaround until you guys can implement the above mentioned feature. Cheers, Bernard
