Gluster users - Jul 2011 - Reading directly from gluster folder ?

Hello,

is there any risk/hazard when i'm reading files directly from gluster
file structure ( not mount point ) ? Not writing ( i understand that
), but only strict read ?

thanks

Matus

Hi Matus.

As long as your direct reads aren't competing for I/O with GlusterFS
daemons, I don't see any harm here.

I'm curious, however - in what way would you like to use this method?
