Hi, I'm interested in using GlusterFS for my simple home NAS system.
I'm primarily interested in being able to virtualise a bunch of different sized harddrives into one large filesystem (whilst retaining the ability to read data off any individual harddrive.)
At the moment, the hardware I have is:
- PC with several harddrives.
- Synology NAS box with several hardrives.
I'd like to (1) run the PC as a storage server, and have its own harddrives as one brick, and (2) the Synology NAS as a second brick. (3) I'd like to mirror the two bricks for redundancy.
(1) is the normal setup for GlusterFS, but is (2) actually possible?
If I mount the Synology NAS as "/export/NAS/", for example, can I use it as a brick? Is the fact that it's an NFS share transparent to Gluster? Or does Gluster care about the underlying hardware/filesystem used?
Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks!
