 Does glusterfs 3+ work with fuse 2.8.1 libraries ?


GlusterFS 3+ does not need any external fuse libraries. Fuse libraries are
included in the glusterfs package.

[Gluster-users] replicating storage for ESX problem

2010-02-14 Thread Romans Ščugarevs

My configuration:
Two node(raid1) cluster based on glusterfs with NFS server.
The system is replicating nicely. Changes are synced. The storage is  
exported over NFS for vmware esx usage.
The problem is when I am using vmware ESX to create a VM on the NSF  
storage, the result is an empty unusable virtual disk. When I export  
some local ext3 from one of the nodes, correct 8GB VM disk is created.  
When I reexport the glusterfs mount, I 'm getting unusable VMs(almost  
zero size). I suppose it has something to do with so called thin  
provisioning over NFS.

Any advice is appreciated!


Regards,
Roman.

 GlusterFS 3+ series relies on fuse kernel not the userspace component
libraries. So if you have fuse kernel module its sufficient enough to use 3+
series.

Are you using NFS with the Gluster Storage Platform or is
this your customised setup?
