two questions regarding glusterfs cluster: tierd storage and hotspare brick

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



hi, all,
    We are using gluster 3.5.2 on standard 3TB*12 machines, some hosts also got SSD on the machines as well; 
two questions:
1. Is there mature solution, I can use the SSD as the write cache for sata disks? So I can combine the power of SSD as write cache(and even read cache), and the capacity provided by SATA disks?
    I heard on Ceph there is  tied storage solution already, on glusterfs i did't see that on documentation; 
    Anyone used solution like facebook flashcache solution?

2. As sata disks fails often(relatively, when you got lots of disks...), each time a disk fails, i will have to manually replace the disks, and replace the bricks;
    Can we setup spare bricks?
     Say, I have 12*3TB sata disks, I only use 10 disks as 10 Bricks with data on it, and have 2 disks configured with filesystem, as part of volume, without putting data on the brick/filesystem? So in case on brick fails, this brick automatically replace that failed disks? Just like hotspare in raid?


Thanks;
