Gluster users - May 2011 - Multiple glusterfsd instances on 1 server

Is it possible to have multiple deamons running on the same server?  I have 2
infiniband ports, and want to dedicate 1 glusterfs instance to each port.  I am
maxing out the CPU on a single glusterfsd, pushing about 1.1GB/s over infiniband
to my server.  But i know the disks are capable of doing about 2GB/s, so i think
adding another glusterfsd instance will help.

Are there any instructions or pointers for how to do this.  I figure bind each
to different ports, which i did, but when i start up the 2nd deamon, it shuts
the first one down.

Thanks,

Thomas

present in CLI. But anyways, when you say "when i start up the 2nd deamon,
it shuts the first one down", can you please share the log messages in the
brick (glusterfsd) logs? That will help in debugging it further. (If you
find nothing there, try dmesg for some IB related errors if any).
