[Gluster-users] It necessary make backup the .glusterfs directory ?
Hi All, I have two glusterfs servers and doing the backup of these is very slow, when it does not fail. I have thousand and thousand and thousand files... Apparently the directory .glusterfs has some responsibility for the backup failure. Is necessary to make a backup of the .glusterfs directory? Thanks in advance. -- Cease

Have you tried using replication/geo-replication/volume snapshot features that gluster provides?> > Thanks in advance. > >

In my experience .glusterfs is easily recoverable by going to the brick path (if you have files there) and running stat for each object but through mount point, something like: cd BRICKPATH sudo find . -path ./.glusterfs -prune -o -exec stat 'MUNTPATH/{}' \; for example, if you need to recreate or create another volume - delete .glusterfs and reset brick folder attr, and proceed with below trick export brick_path=/main/brick4/geo0 sudo setfattr -x trusted.glusterfs.volume-id $brick_path sudo setfattr -x trusted.gfid $brick_path sudo rm -rf $brick_path/.glusterfs files go nowhere - and they are everywhere you replicate them with Gluster On Wed, Jan 24, 2018 at 3:44 PM, C?sar E.

Only one server, not all. I not using special features the gluster. I think if I need restore files, .glusterfs it is rebuilt when I copy the files in the filesystem. Is this correct?
