[Gluster-users] Distributed volumes

[Dave Fan]

Hi,


I'm new to Gluster so a very basic question. Are all volumes distributed by 
default? Is there a switch to turn this feature on/off?


I ask this because in an intro to Gluster I saw "Replicated Volume" and 
"Distributed Replicated Volume". Is the first type, "Replicated Volume", not 
distributed?


Many thanks,

Hi Krutika,


The use-case would be storage for a parallel computing application with high 
concurrency.


How's striping fit into different use-case scenarios? We are targeting other 
applications as well, for example, Hadoop, Virtual Desktop, etc.


My Best,
Dave

Could you describe what use-case you intend to use striping for?

Hello everyone,


We are trying to set up a Gluster-based storage for best performance. On the 
official Gluster website. It says:


Striped – Striped volumes stripes data across bricks in the volume. For best 
results, you should use striped volumes only in high concurrency environments 
accessing very large files.


Is there a rule-of-thumb on what size qualifies as "very large files" here?


Many thanks,
Dave
