Re: [Gluster-users] Mounting a sub directory of a glusterfs volume

well. you should be able to mount the gluster volume and have autofs "bind" the users subdirectory like it does with an nfs mount possibly? my automount is rusty, so I may be off base here. but basically treat the local gluster mount as the "server" for autofs. At 01:55 PM 1/19/2009, Filipe Maia

2009-01-19 Thread Benjamin Smith
Late last week, I rolled out GlusterFS on our production cluster. Config is very simple, two active servers that are also clients to each other. Usage is for a fairly low-volume distribution of file settings for an application cluster that are updated perhaps a few times per day and read constan

That would work fine if I was doing it by hand, but if I have a couple of computers in which the /home directory is managed by autofs that doesn't really fix it. Even worse I have some users which have their homes in glusterfs and others which still have their homes on NFS. I'm still trying to thin

I'm mostly concerned about the auto-healing feature. I'm assuming you have some kind of redundancy setup in your GlusterFS configuration. What happens when you have a VM running on an image served from Gluster, and you simulate a crash on one of your bricks? Does the VM stay up? My impression is

2009-01-19 Thread Filipe Maia
Hi, Is it possible to mount a sub directory of a glusterfs volume (for example mounting volume/username, as you can do in NFS). This would be very useful to replace NFS/autofs installations. If this is not possible are there any plans to add this capability? Is it technically difficult? Filipe _
