Hello, since we need to restructure our gluster infrastructure a wee bit, I'd need to use disks twice, aka two logical bricks on one physical disk.
Current layout, mountpoint = brick: /srv/disk1/<volumecontents> /srv/disk2/<volumecontents> /srv/disk3/<volumecontents> /srv/disk4/<volumecontents> What my plan is currently: mount /mnt/disk1 mkdir /mnt/disk1/disk1 mv /mnt/disk1/* /mnt/disk1/disk1 mount --bind /mnt/disk1/disk1 /srv/disk1 [repeat...] so that the final layout looks something like that: /mnt/disk1/disk1 -> /srv/disk1 /mnt/disk2/disk2 -> /srv/disk2 /mnt/disk3/disk3 -> /srv/disk3 /mnt/disk4/disk4 -> /srv/disk4 /mnt/disk1/disk5 -> /srv/disk5 *new /mnt/disk2/disk6 -> /srv/disk6 *new /mnt/disk3/disk7 -> /srv/disk7 *new /mnt/disk4/disk8 -> /srv/disk8 *new Now, my questions: * can I do that without destroying/altering/... relevant dht information/the distribution of the files? The pathnames of what was there before stay the same for gluster. * A mv should carry the extended attributes, shouldn't it? * Can I use a symlink instead of a bind mount? Thank you for any insight on this, Philip _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@gluster.org http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
