Assuming we have a distributed replica of two gluster servers: server1-server2 And several clients (client1, client2, ..., clientN). If we use the following command line: mount -t glusterfs server1:/test-volume /mnt/glusterfs Our mount will die if server1 is offline. Similar, if we use this entry in /etc/fstab: server1:/test-volume /mnt/glusterfs glusterfs defaults,_netdev 0 0 If server1 is offline, but server2 is online, the client will not be able to access the data. Could anyone shed some light on achieving high availability with glusterfs? -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org
