I'm not familiar with this, but i'll have a look at it as soon as my glusterfs-virtualmachines will be back after maintenance. > Another item I would like to discuss is a bit more general. > As Samuel pointed out the Filesystem RA (with native client) needs the > gluster node it connects to (by using the device attribute of the > Filsesystem RA) up and running only on startup of the client. > > After that the native client detects by itself if a gluster node is gone or > not. This is correct so far but in my setup this could be a SPOF. AFAIR the client gets the volfile after first connect. Afterward it'll run even if a node gets down (if you're using replicated setup). So first connect / mount is the critical moment. We're using a virtual IP which is assigned to an active node. Works fine here even if only one of the gluster-node is online. Marcel
