Hi Matus. As long as your direct reads aren't competing for I/O with GlusterFS daemons, I don't see any harm here. I'm curious, however - in what way would you like to use this method?

Hello, is there any risk/hazard when i'm reading files directly from gluster file structure ( not mount point ) ? Not writing ( i understand that ), but only strict read ? thanks Matus _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users at gluster.org http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users DISCLAIMER: This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
