NFS mounts with glusterd on localhost - reliable or not?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Was that introduced by the same person who thought that binding to 
sequential ports down from 1024 was a good idea?

Considering how hard RedHat was pushing Gluster at the Summit a week or 
two ago, it seems like they're making it hard for people to really 
implement it in any capacity other than their Storage Appliance product.

Luckily I don't need locking yet, but I suppose RedHat will be happy 
when I do since I'll need to buy more GFS2 Add-Ons for my environment :-)
