HI Guys This all applies to Gluster3.3 I love gluster but I'm having some difficulties understanding some things. 1.Replication(with existing data): Two servers in simple single brick replication. ie 1 volume (testvol) -server1:/data/ && server2:/data/ -server1 has a few millions files in the /data dir -server2 has a no files in /data dir So after i created the testvol and started the volume QUESTION (1): Do i need to mount each volume on the servers like so ? If yes why ? ---> on server1: mount -t gluster 127.0.0.1:/testvol /mnt/gfstest ---> on server2: mount -t gluster 127.0.0.1:/testvol /mnt/gfstest CLIENT: Then I mount the client: mount server-1-ip:/testvol /mnt/gfstest Question(2) : I only see files from server2 ??? Question (3) Whenever I'm writing/updating/working with the files on the SERVER i should ALWAYS do it via the (local mount )/mnt/gfstest. I should never work with files directly in the bricks /data ?? Question (4.1) -Whats the best-practise to sync existing "data" ? Question (4.2) -Is it safe to create a brick in a directory that already has files in it ? Regards Jacques -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
