Hello. I want to achieve the following with my Gluster configuration. Each server has two fast local RAID partitions (let's call them /data1 and /data2) and two 10GigE network ports (let's call them eth1 and eth2). I want all communication with /data1 to happen via eth1 and all communication with /data2 to happen via eth2. My application has just a handful of clients and servers, but I need the highest possible performance for reading and writing single large (100-1000 GiB) files. This is why I want to segregate the traffic between the two 10GigE interfaces. All of my clients will be mounting the cluster using the gluster native client. I think I can do this simply by running two glusterd processes on each server, having them use separate /etc/glusterd working directories, each binding to a different interface and serving up a different partition. Except I do not know how to tell glusterd to read from (e.g.) /etc/glusterd1 instead of /etc/glusterd. Could someone tell me how to arrange this, short of hacking the source code to build two different glusterd binaries? Or suggest another way to achieve my objective? Thanks. - Pat
