Hi!
I have a strange request. I don't know if some gluster settings could
help me.
There are two buildings linked using a wifi bridge.
The main building host the data centre. In the other building there
are an office
that need to use a file server with high speed, so the wifi link is not
optimal.
My fantasy suggest me to have a server in this office running samba and
gluster.
Gluster have to read/write immediately from the local storage and
leisurely replicate on remote storage (maybe a replica 3,
or replica 2 + arbiter with locally one replica and the arbiter).
In case of local storage/machine fault the system have to read/write
using the remote brick over "slow" link
and restart to use local storage when it return to be available and
synced.
Samba could be running only on this office or have two instances, in
HA cluster, one in this office and
other in the main building.
Anyone have any suggestions or have they had a similar need?
Thanks, bye.
Hi, from what I remember, Gluster (and especially the AFR module) is not
well suited for high latency, low bandwidth scenario: the risk of split
brain and link congestion is simply too high.
Full disclaimer: I tried a similar setup in the Gluster 3.3.x days, and
it did not work well. But this was many years ago, maybe other can prove
me wrong or give some other advice.
Regards.
