Gluster users - Apr 2010 - can we have multiple server sections in a single volume?

Is it possible to provide a single volume file to serve a gluster file 
system over ib-verbs and tcp simultaneously?

Do we need two different server sections in the volume file?  We'd like 
to keep the performance of ib-verbs over that transport while making the 
volume available over gigabit as well to non-IB connected clients.

Yes. Its possible.

Run 'glusterfs-volgen' with '--transport tcp,ib-verbs' as
option. It will
generate the required export volumes. (Technically, you have to define two
protocol/server volume with same options other than 'transport-type'
which
will be 'tcp' for one, and 'ib-verbs' for another).
