My suggestion is actually to not use Gluster currently for XenServer. A bug I filed about two years ago for using Gluster as a XenServer back-end was just fixed in 3.3. If you're going to use Gluster+Xen, use 3.3. As for NFS, make sure that you changed the NFS port to 2049 in the configuration

No, it was finally fixed in 3.3 so it does per-byte locking rather than per-file. Justice -Original Message- From: Nathan Stratton [mailto:nat...@robotics.net] Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2012 8:56 AM To: Justice London Cc: 'Gerald Brandt'; 'gluster-users' Subject: Re: [Gluster-users]
