Hi, after many VM crashes during upgrades of Gluster, losing network

arbiter.

Hi Pavel, this is bad news :(
So, in your case at least, Gluster was not stable? Something as simple
as an update would let it crash?

I once even managed to break this setup (with arbiter) due to network
partitioning - one data node never healed and I had to restore from
backups (it was easier and kind of non-production). Be extremely
careful and plan for failure.

I would use VM locking via sanlock or virtlock, so a split brain
should not cause simultaneous changes on both replicas. I am more
concerned about volume heal time: what will happen if the standby node
crashes/reboots? Will *all* data be re-synced from the master, or only
changed bit will be re-synced? As stated above, I would like to avoid
using sharding...

Thanks.

Hi all,
any other advice from who use (or do not use) Gluster as a replicated VM backend?

Thanks.
