[Gluster-users] performance / IOP
Hi there, Are there any documents available which allows to get an idea about performance and IOPs? If I understand the concept correctly a brick could be a harddisk or a subset of a RAID. So if would simply mirror two bricks on two servers the limiting factor would be the NIC between? Maybe someone could give a starting point.

[Gluster-users] scrub as in zfs
Hi again, If one thinks about a large amount of data, maybe as a replacement for tapes. Will auto heal of gluster help with data corruption problems? I would expect that, but only, if the files are accessed on a regular basis. As far as I have seen, there is no regular scrub mechanism like in zfs?

[Gluster-users] HW raid or not
Hi, I know, that there is no general answer to this question :) Is it better to use HW Raid or LVM as gluster backend or raw disks? Regards Uwe ___ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@gluster.org http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users

[Gluster-users] gluster usable as open source solution
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?
