I was only going to set up a single "node" now, so if I decide to add additional nodes in the future, I don't have to make any changes to my current storage (as far as preparing it for Gluster); I just need to add the additional node(s). -Alan ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [ovirt-users] Storage question: single node gluster?
Hey Alan. Using a single Gluster node will be like mounting any other storage, just without Gluster's advantages of backuping/distributing the FS. Also, you can attach nodes later on to your GlusterFS after you start using it.

Hi There, This is not strictly oVirt, but is storage-related, so hopefully you will indulge me? Is there any detriment (performance or otherwise) in setting up a single-node glusterFS storage? I know glusterFS is designed to be used with multiple nodes, but I am wondering if there are any ill-effects in configuring current storage as a single-node cluster, with the idea of possibly adding future nodes in the future?

Re: [ovirt-users] Storage question: single node gluster?
AFAIK it is not the best practice from Gluster. I tested it using single node and it should work fine. everything depend on your traffic and configuration. For example, Single node with only one NIc is not the same as with multiple nics Using only one HDD for both OS and volumes or SSD for OS and another SSD for volumes. so... it depends on the setup...
