I'm in the HW raid camp. Mostly because gluster is not block level, so with large quantities of files replication can take days or weeks. In my case a rebuild/resync can take weeks because of how many files/directories I have in my cluster. With hardware RAID I can just replace the disk and a reb

Re: [Gluster-users] gluster usable as open source solution

Glad I could help, Uwe. We do use hardware RAID inside the servers. The reason being is because gluster isn't block level so doing a remirror/resync with 80+ million files takes weeks - so if we lose a hard drive the rebuild time would be unacceptable. With hardware raid a rebuild takes only a d

Re: [Gluster-users] help! - cant bring 1 of 4 servers up..

After debugging the problem with paul on IRC, we found that because his disk had no free space, the subsequent writes on one of the peer files (used for recovering run-time information) failed so the file became empty. Because of this glusterd could not restore that peer so it is not re-startin

Re: [Gluster-users] HW raid or not

I would agree with this. While GlusterFS mirroring is good on a server to server level, it's not as robust (provably on my installation) as HW RAID due to continuing GlusterFS issues with replication and extended attributes (through versions 3.2.2). That's not to say that the server replicatio

Re: [Gluster-users] HW raid or not

We use raw disks with our setup. Gluster takes care of the replication part, so RAID would be useless for us. Performance wise, you are better off just adding a new brick and let gluster do the rest. Best regards, Gabriel On Mon, Aug 8, 2011 at 9:54 AM, Uwe Kastens wrote: > Hi, > > I know, that
