This probably doesn't help, but I only use the GlusterFS to store copies of data already sourced and archived somewhere else - except for the read-write activity, which is really all considered scratch space - even though I'd have some pretty peeved users if they lost it all.

I am looking at solutions but not sure which one to use and how to effectively use them. First thing comes to my mind is using rsync. Please advice. _______________________________________________ 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.
