Gluster users - Oct 2008 - Minimum system requirements to use GlusterFS

Hi,

 

It is suggested in the documentation that we use a cluster of 4 or more
x86-64 servers with SATA-II RAID and Infiniband interconnect for a
storage cluster. Just wondering if we can use 32 bit machines (e.g. RHEL
5.2 32-bit) for a storage cluster? We have already tested GlusterFS on
x86-64 servers, and it works perfectly but due to some constraints we
have to use 32 bit machines now.

 

Thanks,

Bernard Chew

I have a mix of 32 and 64 bit machines in my setup.  Seems to do just 
fine, but dont take my word as official
