Hello, I asked this question some days ago but did not get any answer so far so I am posting it again. Can someone explain how Gluster native client reads from a Gluster replicated volume? 1. Is there a mechanism that would spread requests, form a single client, among all bricks/servers, taking part in a replica volume? 2. Would the native client take a decision where (brick/server) to fetch a file from based on some criteria or it will be bound to a give brick/server all the time? 3. Is a file being downloaded from just one of the gluster servers? I did some tests, trying to measure network traffic between gluster servers and a client using "iptraf" and "gluster volume status Volname client", which gave confusing results so I would like someone to clear this out for me if possible. Thank you! Kal -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://supercolony.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/attachments/20130911/669125e0/attachment.html>
