But probably i just didn't search for it hard enough. Is the argument "replica 2" already documented somewhere os should i browse the code in the meantime for all the possible arguments to gluster command? > > The second thing i don't know is how i can activate translators and > authentication with the new gluster command. > > > I didn't understand the question clearly.. can you re-phrase it? > What do you mean by 'activating translator' and what is > 'authenticating with new gluster command'? Ok, i try it again. There therea are translators available in glusterfs (see [1]). How do i set the translaters in 3.1. E.g. the quota translater, how/where do i config it. I thought it should be possible to do this with the gluster command otherwise i have to manually configure glusterfsd.vol files on all nodes. How do you achieve translator configuration in Version 3.1? Or better: What is the best/recommended way in 3.1 to achieve this? The second part of the question is about the authentication mechanism in glusterfs. IP based and user/password based. What's the best way to configure this feature in 3.1? In the previous version you had to manually change the glusterfsd.vol files. > > Is there some "hidden" documentation somewhere? > > > Documentation is in progress and we intent to get everything upto > the mark soon.

Sorry for the missunderstanding, I meant 'hidden to me' in the sense I wasn't able to find documentation regarding my questions for 3.1 Regards, Christian [1] http://www.gluster.com/community/documentation/index.php/User_Guide#Translators -- Christian Haintz Student of Software Development and Business Management Graz, University of Technology
