[Gluster-users] Automatic arbiter volumes on distributed/replicated volumes with replica 2?
Hi List, we just upgraded out 4 node cluster from 3.5.8 to 3.7.8. Because of replica 2 on all volumes i run into problems with read only file systems of vm images when running on 3.5.x. As i know now the solution would be to have replica 3 or at least use arbiter volumes. Yesterday i stumbled over this post in the list which i missed before (damn spam filter): https://www.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2015-November/024191.html Steve Dainard is pointing out that 3.7.x uses an automatic arbiter, when you have 4 nodes configured as distributed/replicated. Is this true? Could not find something about it in the documentation :-/ Would be nice i could save on having 2 more nodes this way. If not, is there a chance to see such feature in the future? -- Regards Andr? Bauer

Could not find something about it in the documentation :-/There is no 'automatic' arbiter for replica 2. I think he was referring to the dummy node peer probed for maintaining server quorum. -Ravi> Would be nice i could save on having 2 more nodes this way. > > If not, is there a chance to see such feature in the future? > >
