Greetings friends I have a mission to synchronize 2 file servers over an ADSL (10 Mbit) link, I would like to know from you if gluster is suitable for this kind of operation or should I move to something like Unison. Server A <-> Server B , both with RW operations Most documentation I have read so far describes LAN or WAN environment over dedicated super fast and reliable network interfaces. Checking in IRC #gluster I got the following answer from a good fellow "Gluster is not, per se, a tool for keeping file servers in sync. If you use gluster then you would use geo-replication to sync your primary storage to the server on the other side of the ADSL line" "AFR (replication) is synchronous. Clients write to both/all servers. Your ADSL line is not suitable for AFR, there's too much latency. geo-rep is asynchronous, which is what I suppose you mean by unilateral." I am unable to keep tracking of IRC right now due to local firewall policies. I am worried that geo-repo is just suitable to mirror a Master Server to Several Slaves, "almost" like rsync. Could someone enlight me ?
