Short answer, it sounds like you'd benefit from playing with a test
cluster... Would I be correct in guessing that you haven't setup a
gluster pool yet?
You might want to look at:
https://ttboj.wordpress.com/2014/01/08/automatically-deploying-glusterfs-with-puppet-gluster-vagrant/
This way you can try them out easily...
For some of those points... solve them with...
Sort of a crib notes for things like:
1) What do you do if you see that a drive is about to fail?
RAID6
or: zol, raidz<x>
(open for critical commends)
or: brick remove && brick add && volume heal
(it's really just three commands, at least in my experience so far, touch wood)
.
but Michael, I appreciate your _original_ question:
"Is there a best practice document?"
Nope, not that I am aware of.
.
It might be very helpful to have a wiki next to this mailing list,
where all the good experience, all the proved solutions for "situations"
that are brought up here, could be gathered in a more
permanent and straight way.
+1. It would be very useful to evolve an operations guide for GlusterFS.
.
To your questions I would add:
what's best practice in setting options for performance and/or integrity...
(yeah, well, for which use case under which conditions)
a mailinglist is very helpful for adhoc probs and questions,
but it would be nice to distill the knowledge into a permanent, searchable form.
.
sure anybody could set up a wiki, but...
it would need the acceptance and participation of an active group
to get best results.
so IMO the appropriate place would be somewhere close to gluster.org?
.
Would be happy to carry this in doc/ folder of glusterfs.git and
collaborate on it if a lightweight documentation format like markdown or
asciidoc is used for evolving this guide.
