Hello Pille,
Snapshot functionality is not currently built into Gluster. You can,
however, take snapshots of the filesystems underneath Gluster. In order
to get a consistent snapshot, things will have to be coordinated. You can
use a tool such as PSSH to execute commands on multiple servers
simultaneously, so this may be somewhat effective for doing this.

Subject: [Gluster-users] snapshots
hi,
there was a thread some time ago asking whether there's a snapshot
feature in glusterfs. however - it wasn't positively answered. just a
pointer to implement it with a underlaying LVM.
so here i ask again: is it possible to create a snapshot view of a
glusterfs? how can i do so?
if i'm doing it on the LVM level, how can i be sure to make the snapshot
consistent on all replicated nodes?
cheers
pille
