Hello, With the Distributed Volumes configuration, is it possible to specify that files be written locally first (like NUFA in 3.0) ? Thanks, -john Message: 6 Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2011 18:01:53 +1030 From: Deadpan110 <deadpan110 at gmail.com> Subject: Re: Any Update: Req help for configuring glusterfs 3.1.2 To: "s.varadha rajan" <rajanvaradhu at gmail.com> Cc: gluster-users at gluster.org Message-ID: <AANLkTikX9V-_HWphtFwoTNKD+a1mpUjQfXKNOm3U8a0P at mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 *sorry - twice today I have forgot to include the mailing list in the reply* Hiya, Using the 'gluster' command in gluster 3.1.x is the preferred method to set up volumes so there should be no need to alter config files manually (I am unsure of the state of custom translators and would not know if you need them for your situation). But just to recap... Distributed Volumes: ----------------------------- # gluster volume create test-volume transport tcp server1:/exp1 server2:/exp2 server3:/exp3 server4:/exp4 This method will use the storage allocated in every brick for use as a large file system. There is no failover - so if you reboot a server, the filesystem will be unavailable until the server is back online (if you loose the server and its bricks - some files will be unrecoverable). Files are written to the storage so as to attempt to make each brick use approximately the same space. (file1 -> server1 ... file2 -> server2 ... etc)
