This doesn't help. It shows text entries for some configuration file and doesn't name which configuration file these text entries go in. It doesn't say if setting these options with "gluster volume set" is persistent. There is so much context missing that it is unusable for a new admin. For example it says "The IO-Cache translator is useful on both the client and server sides of a connection." Great! How? How do I specify that I want it on the client side? How do I specify which client? How do I check to see if the change has "taken"? Is the change persistent across restarts? What configuration files are modified (hopefully in /etc) so that I can make sure they are apprpriately backed up? It even gives a sample piece of configuration file but doesn't say where it is supposed to go if I want it for the server or for the client. Do I need to do this on each server, one one server node and it is propogated? On one client? On all clients? Sorry if I am obtuse. I really feel like there is some statement of administrative philosophy that is missing. If that statement was provided, then these docs would probably be quite useful. Thanks, Joel "feeling-ignorant" Young
