this all makes sense and sounds a bit like a solr setup :-) I have now added the third node as a peer sudo gluster peer probe gs3
That indeed allow me to mount the share manually on node2 even if node1 is down. BUT: It does not mount on reboot! It only successfully mounts if node1 is up. I need to do a manual: sudo mount -a Is there a particular reason for this, or is it a misconfiguration? 2015-08-31 21:01 GMT+02:00 Joe Julian <j...@julianfamily.org>: > > > On 08/31/2015 10:41 AM, Vijay Bellur wrote: > >> On Monday 31 August 2015 10:42 PM, Atin Mukherjee wrote: >> >>> > 2.
