[Gluster-users] Kernel NFS on GlusterFS

2018-03-07 Thread Ben Mason
Hello, I'm designing a 2-node, HA NAS that must support NFS. I had planned on using GlusterFS native NFS until I saw that it is being deprecated. Then, I was going to use GlusterFS + NFS-Ganesha until I saw that the Ganesha HA support ended after 3.10 and its replacement is still a WIP. So, I

I happened to review the status of volume clients and realized they were reporting a mix of different op-versions: 3.13 clients were still connecting to the downgraded 3.12 server (likely a timing issue between downgrading clients and mounting volumes). Remounting the reported clients has

Gluster does the sync part better than corosync. It's not an active/passive failover system. It more all active. Gluster handles the recovery once all nodes are back online. That requires the client tool chain to understand that a write goes to all storage devices not just the active one. 3.10 is

You say that accessing Gluster via NFS is actually faster than native (fuse) client? Still I would like to know why we can’t use kernel NFS server on the data bricks. I understand we can’t use it on MDS as it can’t support pNFS. Ondrej From: gluster-users-boun...@gluster.org

Ok, I agree Gluster fits more in certain scenarios - but you just can't expect the same performance you receive from NAS based solution - this is especially true when you deal with lots of relatively small files. Ondrej -Original Message- From: Rik Theys

Please run 'gluster v get all cluster.max-op-version' and what ever value it throws up should be used to bump up the cluster.op-version (gluster v set all cluster.op-version ) . With that if you restart the rejected peer I believe the problem should go away, if it doesn't I'd need to investigate

[Gluster-users] gluster for home directories?

2018-03-07 Thread Rik Theys
Hi, We are looking into replacing our current storage solution and are evaluating gluster for this purpose. Our current solution uses a SAN with two servers attached that serve samba and NFS 4. Clients connect to those servers using NFS or SMB. All users' home directories live on this server. I

Thanks for the feedback! I was able to fix my problem... turns out, the standard docker debian and php-cli images don't include a critical package: apt-transport-https So to test gluster FS client using docker, start with a file like this: # you can also use 'FROM debian' FROM php:cli # use up
