Re: GlusterFS over multiples HDD

[Darrell Budic <budic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ZFS isn’t that resource intensive, although it does like RAM.

But why not just add additional bricks? Gluster is kind of built to use disks as bricks, and rely on gluster replication to provide redundancy in the data. Either replication or distribute-replication can provide protection against disk failures.

But still, have some doubt how LVM will handle in case of disk failure!

Or even mdadm.

Both need intervention when one or more disks die!

What I need is something like ZFS but that uses less resources...

Thanks any way

Having just been burnt by BTRFS I would stick with XFS and LVM/others.

LVM will do disk replication or raid1. I do not believe that raid3,4,5,6.. is supported.
mdadm does support all the various raid modes and I have used it quite reliably for years.
You may want to look at the raid456 write-journal but that will require an SSD or NVME deivce to be used effectively.

Hi there....

'till now, I am using glusterfs over XFS and so far so good.

Using LVM too....

Unfortunately, there is no way with XFS to merge two or more HDD, in order to use more than one HDD, like RAID1 or RAID5.

My primary goal is to use two server with GlusterFS on top of multiples HDDs for qemu images.

I have think about BTRFS or mdadm.

Anybody has some experience on this?

Thanks a lot
