Randy, On my compute cluster we use round-robin dns (for HA of the volume definition) and mount the GlusterFS volume via the FUSE (native) client. All of the I/O would go directly to the nodes, rather than through an intermediary (NFS) server. -- Adam Tygart Beocat Sysadmin www.beocat.cis.ksu.edu On Fri, May 10, 2013 at 5:38 PM, Bradley, Randy <Randy.Bradley at ars.usda.gov>wrote: > > I've got a 24 node compute cluster.
