Hi, I'm looking for an option to add an arbiter node to the gluster cluster, but the leads I've been following seem to lead to inconclusive results. The scenario is, a 2 node replicated cluster. What I want to do is introduce a fake host/arbiter node which would set the cluster to a 3 node meaning, we can meet the conditions of allow over 50% to write (ie. 2 can write, 1 can not). elyograg from IRC gave me a few links [1], [2] But these appear to be over a year old, and still under review. Gluster 3.2 volume options (I'm running 3.4, but there doesn't seem to be an updated page) [3] seem to state the that the cluster quorum is identified by active peers. This also backs up the statement in [2] in regards to a patch for active volumes rather than cluster peers. Has anyone gone down this path, or could they confirm any of these leads? (ie. does a host w/o any volumes get considered as a peer within the cluster) Thanks, Andrew [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=914804 [2] http://review.gluster.org/#/c/4363/ [3] http://gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Gluster_3.2:_Setting_Volume_Options#cluster.quorum-type _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://supercolony.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
