That's exactly how we're running our systems. Boxes are both, server and clients. So there's then no way to separate the client functionality from the server part? No clean cut between glusterd and glusterfsd? Best, Martin -----Original Message----- From: gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org [mailto:gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org] On Behalf Of Anthony J.

I never understood before why shutting down the glusterd service killed the clients too. But given this, now I get it. I'm guessing it would not be recommended or supported then to run a gluster client on the same machine as a gluster server? Even if the gluster client is connecting to a server other than the one on the local machine. -Tony --------------------------- Manager, IT Operations Format Dynamics, Inc.
