Is it possible to pre-seed a glusterfs geo-repl slave? Background story: I am presently using rsync to mirror 3 servers. The source server (master) resides in the UK. The target servers reside in Canada and USA. The targets servers presently have 1.5TB of mirrored data. I want to switch from rsync mirroring to glusterfs geo-replication. However, I wish to use the existing data as the starting point instead of starting geo-replication from scratch. It will take a very long time to re-sync 1.5TB of data over our WAN connection. Does glusterfs allow for this? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[Gluster-users] [External] Seeding geo-replication slaves
Hi, from what i have seen you can have the target volume mounted RW and write other files to it without breaking replication. I don't know in case the files are the same what would happen since i haven't tested it but i guess as per rsync it would update the files from source.
