 I guess this must get discussed here a lot!
 Anyone care to comment on the roadmap for this?

As far as I understand, it's not possible to legally add ZFS to Linux
and then distribute it.  So, places are ok to do it themselves for their
own purposes, but it's not something that a support company could
provide to their end users then support.

So, GlusterFS with ZFS on Linux isn't as widespread as it otherwise
might be. People have been looking into GlusterFS on BtrFS as the
new-upcoming ZFS kinda-equivalent, but there's nothing even close to
official yet. :/

Does that help? :)

[Gluster-users] Recomended underlying filesystem

2014-10-27 Thread Lindsay Mathieson
Looking at setting up a two node replicated gluster filesystem. Base hard 
disks on each node are 2*2TB in RAID1. It will be used for serving VM Images.

Does the underlying filesystem particularly matter? EXT4? XFS?


thanks,

Something with xattrs. XFS is most tested/supported.

Hi,

XFS is the recommended filesystem by RedHat AFAIK.
