Hi Jeti,
Could you use LVM or mdadm on the server to create one filesystem on
the four disks and then export that?
i dont have much expirience on LVM, but already used mdadm (a bit)
either way, one thing i like about gluster is that it doesnt introduce a
new filesystem OR handling of the filesystem underneath gluster
its not that i dont want to learn something new, but when it comes to
safety of my data
i appreciate tools that i already know and in case of some failure i
understand whats
happening and the problems that can further arise from such a failure
as a worst case i think i will export the disks via unix domain sockets,
mount this directory
and reexport again using a second server vol file
at least it should work
This won't fulfil your requirement of having whole files on one disk,
but does fulfil the other two (1 brink, add more disks later). Are you
intending to remove disks to transport files or something?
well, would be an interesting option, but not necessary i think ^^
but as stated above standard tools are easier and fail safer to use for
me (currently)
Ian
thx & regards
