Gluster users - Jan 2009 - Gluster configuration NUFA+AFR+distibuted

Hi All,

I'm building now HA-mail system, and want to test Gluster like 
distributed FS.

Is it possible to combine 3 translators in single clinet/server-process:
NUFA (each server will be the client) + distributed (no file-space, all 
in hash) + AFR (network mirror, one server down, no users affected) ?

I need to scale distributed storage to 100s TB and increase storage just 
add'in the standard SCSI/SATA server into cluster.

Thanks!

If your intention with AFR is to ensure that each node (client == 
server) has exactly the same data, then you only need to use AFR, and 
not any of the other clustering translators.

Perhaps you'd like to expand on your desired architecture further ?
