Assuming we have a distributed replica of two gluster servers:

server1-server2


And several clients (client1, client2, ..., clientN).

If we use the following command line:

mount -t glusterfs server1:/test-volume /mnt/glusterfs

Our mount will die if server1 is offline.

I was mistaken - I see it's not the case, which is good.

Still, what /etc/fstab entry should the clients use in order to be able to mount glusterfs, if one of the servers (the one specified in /etc/fstab) dies?

Similar, if we use this entry in /etc/fstab:

server1:/test-volume /mnt/glusterfs glusterfs defaults,_netdev 0 0

If server1 is offline, but server2 is online, the client will not be
able to access the data.


Could anyone shed some light on achieving high availability with glusterfs?
