Thank you. I wonder if this is still true for the current version (3.1.2) since that message is quite old. It would be nice, for better performance, if a client (which is also a brick-server) could access its local copy of a file rather than chosing a random server and read it via network. Maybe a gluster developer can confirm this ? Cheers, Rosario. Il 11/03/2011 19:24, Mohit Anchlia ha scritto: > This is what I found contray to what I said.
