Hi Mohit. The gluster native client handles failover transparently if one of the server storage machines fails / crashes. What you have done is stopped the volume from being accessible - which can be done from any server participating in that volume. If you want to test failover, do a 'service network stop' on the server which you wish to fail, and then check from your gluster native client. Don't do a gluster volume stop <volname>. That will make the volume inaccessible to all clients.

I am also using gluser native client to take advantage of failover. I was trying to do a failure testing but what I see is that when I stop volume on one of the gluster servers I see: df: `/mnt/ext': Transport endpoint is not connected I thought if native gluster is used then it will also take care of failover for eg: if server1 goes down it will still service requests to server2? _______________________________________________ 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.
