Hi, I'm currently running GlusterFS over XFS, and it works quite well. I'm wondering if it's possible to add data deduplication into the mix by: glusterfs --> lessfs --> xfs or glusterfs --> opendedupe --> xfs Has anybody tried doing this? We're running VM images on gluster, and I figure we could get a bit of space saving bu deduplicating the data. Gerald

Hi, I just completed testing on using Gluster via it's NFS server in a XenServer environment. My comparison was iSCSI in the same environment. You can see the results at http://majentis.com/2011/09/21/xenserver-iscsi-and-glusterfsnfs/ Gerald

Hi, Are there any proposed dates for a new release of Gluster? I'm currently running 3.3, and the gluster heal info commands all segfault. Gerald

Hi, I have Gluster 3.2.6 RPM's for Citrix XenServer 6.0. I've installed and mounted exports, but that's where I stopped. My issues are: 1. XenServer mounts the NFS servers SR subdirectory, not the export. Gluster won't do that. -- I can, apparently, mount the gluster export somewhere else, and then 'mount --bind' the subdir to the right place 2. I don't really know

Hi, I can't stop or delete a replica volume: # gluster volume info Volume Name: sync1 Type: Replicate Status: Started Number of Bricks: 2 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: thinkpad:/gluster/export Brick2: quad:/raid/gluster/export # gluster volume stop sync1 Stopping volume will make its data inaccessible. Do you want to continue? (y/n) y Volume sync1 does not exist # gluster volume

Hi Folks, I find myself trying to expand a 2-node high-availability cluster from to a 4-node cluster. I'm running Xen virtualization, and currently using DRBD to mirror data, and pacemaker to failover cleanly. The thing is, I'm trying to add 2 nodes to the cluster, and DRBD doesn't scale. Also, as a function of rackspace limits, and the hardware at hand, I can't separate

Hi, I'm testing gluster/nfs for replacement of an existing DRBD/iSCSI system. Speed tests show gluster NFS to be pretty close to iSCSI, but I have some questions. If I do a sequential write of data, I get ~118 MB/s. A sequential read of data gets about 65 MB/s. If I do a sequential read and write at the same time, write speed drops to ~100 MB/s while read speed drops to about 10 MB/s.

Hi, I was reading that 2.1 introduced an option to disable the nagle algorithm. Is that option still available in 3.2? Gerald

Hi, I've recently had dataloss on an XFS (inode64) glusterfs (3.2.5) NFS exported file system. I was using the gluster NFS server. On the XFS FAQ page, they have this: Q: Why doesn't NFS-exporting subdirectories of inode64-mounted filesystem work? The default fsid type encodes only 32-bit of the inode number for subdirectory exports. However, exporting the root of the filesystem
