Hi guys: BTW thanks for the insights regarding locality . Now I have a new stupid question for you: Namespace federation ! Say I have two gluster volumes, and I want to access both volumes from the same mount point. It would be cool if there was a "gluster volume federate volA volB supervol", which created a new volume that read/wrote to supervol/volA super/volB transparently. But in the absence of such a command, could I just federate two gluster namespaces using the mount command? Would there be nasty hidden overhead and costs to this? i.e. something like: mount -o /tmp/supermount/subA /submount/a mount -o /tmp/supermount/subB /submount/b Or maybe you could do the equivalent with symlinks? -- Jay Vyas http://jayunit100.blogspot.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
