Gluster users - May 2010 - Glusterfs and Xen - mount option

Hi,

 

I've installed Gluster Storage Platform on two servers (mirror) and mounted
the volume on a client.

I had to mount it using  "mount -t glusterfs
<MANAGEMENT_SERVER>:<VOLUMENAME-ON-WEBGUI>-tcp
<MOUNTPOINT>" because I
didn't had a vol file and couldn't generate one with volgen because we
don't
have shell access to the gluster server right?
How can I add the option to mount it with --disable-direct-io-mode?
 

I can't find how to do it.

Do you recommend using Xen with gluster? How about performance issues?

 

Best Regards

Paulo Cardoso

yesterday i was trying to make that work, i did have to use the
gluster custom version of unfsd to get xen working on an reexported
mount point. My lab is not the best to do benchmark but i did copy
some virtual disks from local storage to nfs and that had a bad
performance.
