Hi. I'm evaluating GlusterFS for our DFS implementation, and wondered how it compares to KFS/CloudStore? These features here look especially nice ( http://kosmosfs.sourceforge.net/features.html). Any idea what of them exist in GlusterFS as well? Regards. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi! I have trivial problem with self healing. Maybe somebody will be able to tell mi what am I doing wrong, and why do the files not heal as I expect.

Dear Members, Even though Gluster team is growing at a steady phase, our aggressive development schedule out phases our resources. We need to expand and also maintain a 1:1 developer / QA engineer ratio. Our major development focus in the next 8 months will be towards: * Large scale regression tests (24/7/365) * Web based monitoring and management * Hot upgrade/add/remove of storage nodes

Are there known performance issues with using glusterfs on software raid? I've been playing with a variety of configs (AFR, AFR with Unify) on a two server setup. Everything seems to work well, but performance (creating files, reading files, appending to files) is very slow. Using the same configs on two non-software raid machines shows significant performance increases. Before I go a

Does the stable version of GlusterFS, GlusterFS 1.3-SUSKE RELEASE, have the High Availably (HA) Translator or is it just in v1.4? John This email was independently scanned for viruses by McAfee anti-virus software and none were found

Hi All I've been looking for something like Gluster for a while and stumbled on it today via the wikipedia pages on Filesystems etc. I have a few very very simple questions that might even be too simple to be on the FAQ, but if you think any of them are decent please add them there. I think it might help if I start with what I want to achieve, then ask the questions. We want to build a high

Hi. I'm using GlusterFS v1.3.12 (glusterfs-1.3.12.tar.gz) via FUSE (fuse-2.7.3glfs10.tar.gz) on CentOS 5.2 x86_64 (Linux kernel 2.6.18-92.el5) now. The nodes are HP Proliant DL360 G5 (as GlusterFS Client) and DL180 G5 (as GlusterFS Servers). And the connections are all TCP/IP on Gigabit ethernet. Then, I tested self-heal and I found a technical problem about "replace" -- self-heal

Hi all, I upgraded from 1.4.0rc3 to 2.0.0rc1 in my test environment, and while the upgrade itself went smoothly, i appear to be having problems with the (posix-)locks feature. :( The feature is clearly declared in the server config file, and according to the DEBUG-level logs, it is loaded successfully at runtime ; however, when Gluster attempts to lock an object (for the purposes of AFR

Hi, I just installed and configured a couple of machines with glusterfs (1.4.0-rc3). It seems to work great. Thanks for the amazing software.! I've been looking for something like this for years. I have some feedback and questions. My configuration is a bit complicated. I have two machines each with two disks and each of which with two partitions that I wanted to use (i.e. 8

I have just finished my first steps with glusterfs. Realizing in principle what I wanted to do (including installation from source) was astonishingly easy; however, the performance is extremely poor. Thus, I'd appreciate comments and suggestions what to do/try next. * Operating system is Ubuntu 8.04.1 (32bit on servers, 64bit on client) * glusterfs is 1.3.12; compiled from source; *

I've got configuration which in simple includes combination of afrs and unify - servers exports n[1-3]-brick[12] and n[1-3]-ns and client got cluster configuration: volume afr-ns type cluster/afr subvolumes n1-ns n2-ns n3-ns option data-self-heal on option metadata-self-heal on option entry-self-heal on end-volume volume afr1 type cluster/afr subvolumes n1-brick2

Currently it would seem that AFR will simply copy everything to every brick in the AFR. If I did something like ... volume afr-example type cluster/afr subvolumes brick1 brick2 brick3 brick4 brick5 brick6 brick7 brick8 end-volume I would wind up with 8 copies of every file. Clearly, this is too many. What I would rather have is maybe 3 copies of each file distributed randomly across

I've setup an eight node server stripe using gluster 1.4.0pre5 using the stripe example from the wiki. Each of these eight nodes has a 100Mbit ethernet card and a single hard disk. I've connected them all together using a gigabit switch and I have a gigabit workstation connected, with gluster mounted and running fine. However, when i try to do a dd test to the disk "dd if=/dev/zero
