It's quite possible that the replication is synchronous (the bits do hit disk before returning) but that the results are not being seen immediately due to caching at some level. There are some GlusterFS mount options (especially --negative-timeout) that might be relevant here, but it's also possible that the culprit is somewhere above that in your app servers. _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
