That is ok, but I am finding an automatic way in case I make an auto-scalable Gluster deployment. If something change in Gluster like the number of servers (I could add more servers later) then I would have to copy the new volumen info to my Apache Rol Amazon Image, and this can not be done automatically. Other way could be doing a script to load that file from S3 but I would have to copy the new volume info file to S3 every time It changes, and I don?t know how this can be done because I don?t know how monitoring and catch Gluster volumes changes. > -Tony > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Joshua Baker-LePain <jlb17 at duke.edu> > Sent: May 23, 2011 9:16 AM > To: Jos?
