Hello, I would like to use glusterfs to replicate a volume between my desktop and my laptop, so that when I am away from home (and likely disconnected), I can still access some project files. The desktop is on most of the time, but the laptop is rarely on. I have successfully set up gluster to accomplish this goal, but I am looking to improve the disconnected behaviour of the desktop. While the laptop is disconnected (ie, most of the time), the desktop continuously re-tries to connect to the laptop, but in doing so it generates too much DNS traffic trying to find the laptop - it looks like there is no retry delay at all. In turn, the gluster client log files grow very fast, the DNS resolver logs also grow fast, and there is a lot of unnecessary network chatter. I would like to add a delay of between subsequent re-attempts to reconnect, but I can't find any such option at http://gluster.readthedocs.io/...Managing%20Volumes The question is: Is there a way to slow down gluster's attempts to reconnect? I looked through the source as well, and I can't find a delay mechanism. Ideally the reconnect attempts would follow an exponential back-off schedule with a configurable maximum delay, but a fixed, configurable delay would work too. In case a developer reads this, I would be inclined in implementing exponential backoff myself, and submitting a patch, but would appreciate a brief advice of where in the codebase this backoff should be inserted. Thank you jg _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
