NFS does not have xattrs as far as I know. In theory, GlusterFS can support any POSIX filesystem that has support for extended attributes.

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! _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://supercolony.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://supercolony.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
