[Gluster-users] not support so called “structured data”
Document point out: Gluster does not support so called ?structured data?, meaning live, SQL databases. Of course, using Gluster to backup and restore the database would be fine. What? Not,support! I had a test to run Oracle database on KVM/Ovirt/Gluster,it works well,in fact. But why docs says not support ? It measn not suggest or not to use ? sz_cuitao at 163.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The only thing that comes to my mind is that usually DBs are quite valuable and thus a 'replica 3' volume or a 'replica 3 arbiter 1' volume should be used and a different set of options are needed (compared to other workloads).

It measn not suggest or not to use ?The documentation (I'm assuming this is from the Installation/Overview section) focuses on what has been known to work because tests have been completed. If you'd be able to provide more detail about the tests you ran, we can consider improving the section of the documentation using knowledge you share. If you'd prefer to send a patch to the document section, that is welcome as well. -- sankarshan at kadalu.io | TZ: UTC+0530 kadalu.io : Making it easy to provision storage in k8s!
