Let's say that I take a slightly looser approach to high-availability: - keep the static parts of my installs on local disk - share and replicate dynamic data using gluster - failover by rebooting on a different node (no image to worry about migrating) In this scenario, how well does gluster work when: - storage and processing are inter-mixed on the same nodes - data is triply replicated (allow for 2-node failures) Miles Fidelman -- In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.
