Re: [Gluster-users] Fwd: nfs.rpc-auth-allow : not working in 3.2.1 (but two patches fix that)
Hello,
Just wanted an update on this one .
We submitted a patch for that against 3.1 then again against 3.2.0 and 3.2.1
But it seems that you keep forgetting it in the next release .
This is a claimed feature, it is listed in the documentation, in the
wiki, in the web site. But it is just not working. And has never been.
Why can't this be fixed for once especially when you look at the patch:
A typo ( - instead of. ) seriously can't you get it throught to the trunk.
So what is the status of this bug ?
Is it going to be fixed in 3.3 ?
Are you going to test it ?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm back with nfs.rpc-auth-allow not working in all glusterfs
version.
This two patches have fixed issue in 3.2.0:
http://patches.gluster.com/patch/7104/
http://patches.gluster.com/patch/7233/
They have not be commited to 3.2.1 so nfs.rpc-auth-allow is broken
for now.
To fix that i need to apply:
__patches 7104__ adapted to 3.2.1:

Re: [Gluster-users] HW raid or not
We use raw disks with our setup. Gluster takes care of the replication part, so RAID would be useless for us. Performance wise, you are better off just adding a new brick and let gluster do the rest.

Re: [Gluster-users] HW raid or not
I would agree with this. While GlusterFS mirroring is good on a server to server level, it's not as robust (provably on my installation) as HW RAID due to continuing GlusterFS issues with replication and extended attributes (through versions 3.2.2). That's not to say that the server replication is rubbish - it's just that there are edge cases for which bugs have already been submitted that affect file integrity from a mounted GlusterFS point of view.

Re: [Gluster-users] help! - cant bring 1 of 4 servers up..
pranith - a huge and heartfelt thanks for your super prompt attention. a very scary event turned into a non-event. :) regards, -p On 8 August 2011 18:35, Pranith Kumar K prani...@gluster.com wrote: ** After debugging the problem with paul on IRC, we found that because his disk had no free space, the subsequent writes on one of the peer files (used for recovering run-time information) failed so the file became empty. Because of this glusterd could not restore that peer so it is not re-starting successfully. We copied the contents of that file from other peer in the cluster to the problematic one. Then glusterd started successfully. Pranith.

Re: [Gluster-users] gluster usable as open source solution
Glad I could help, Uwe. We do use hardware RAID inside the servers. The reason being is because gluster isn't block level so doing a remirror/resync with 80+ million files takes weeks - so if we lose a hard drive the rebuild time would be unacceptable. With hardware raid a rebuild takes only a day or two. We access our clusters mostly via the native fuse gluster client because performance via the NFS client is somewhat slow. However we do have a few clients that connect via NFS so we can mount readonly or that don't require a lot of performance. liam On Thu, Aug 4, 2011 at 11:13 AM, Uwe Kastens kiste...@googlemail.com wrote: Hello Liam, Thank you for sharing information. This is very kind and helpful. Indeed there are some questions: - Are you working with hardware raid inside the server? - How are you acessing the storage? NFS/gluster native? Kind Regards Uwe 2011/8/4 Liam Slusser lslus...@gmail.com I run two Gluster clusters in a very production roll using open source Gluster, all supported in-house mostly by myself. We have a 4-node 240tb after raid (576tb raw) cluster supporting a farm of audio transcoders. This one was built not so much for speed (its not very speedy), but to be reliable and cheap. Over the last two years we've had a few small issues but nothing major. Very reliable. All built on commodity hardware (Supermicro chassis's, Seagate 7.2k desktop harddrives). I also run a smaller 6-node 120tb (432tb raw) as storage for a pool of public facing apache webservers. This smaller cluster serves content to feed our CDN providers which feeds all our users. We can saturate a gigabit line (with 2-3meg http objects) without issues. (Same Supermicro chassis's and Seagate 7.2k desktop harddrives) This cluster has never gone down in the last two years it has been running. Our two homebuilt Gluster clusters replaced nearly 1/4 of a million dollars in Isilon hardware for less then the cost of the Isilon annual support contract while doubling the space at the same time. It has saved our company hundreds of thousands of dollars and has been hugely successful. You're welcome to email me offline if you would like more information. liam On Thu, Aug 4, 2011 at 3:38 AM, Uwe Kastens kiste...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi, I looked at gluster over the past year. It looks nice but the commercial option is not so interesting, since it is not possible to evaluate a storage solution within 30 days. More than one any other storage platform its a matter of trust, if the scaling is working. So my questions to this mailinglist are: - Anybody using the open source edition in a bigger production environment? How is the expierence over a longer time? - Since gluster seems only to offer support within the enterprise version. Anybody out there how is supporting the open source edition?

Re: [Gluster-users] HW raid or not
I'm in the HW raid camp. Mostly because gluster is not block level, so with large quantities of files replication can take days or weeks. In my case a rebuild/resync can take weeks because of how many files/directories I have in my cluster. With hardware RAID I can just replace the disk and a rebuild happens automatically and very quickly. liam On Mon, Aug 8, 2011 at 4:12 AM, Gabriel-Adrian Samfira samfiragabr...@gmail.com wrote: We use raw disks with our setup. Gluster takes care of the replication part, so RAID would be useless for us. Performance wise, you are better off just adding a new brick and let gluster do the rest.
