Hi Anthony,
If you need the client to remain mounted, you need _some_ way of doing IP
takeover. You could write your own script for that.
As for remounting though, if your client is a *nix (Linux, OSX, whatever)
you can use autofs to establish the mount, and that will also handle

If that beta is installed over a 3.1.6 system (not too critical to

Hi Deyan,
This may not be a useful suggestion, but why not just partition your storage
so that your bricks remain uniform? When you get more disk capacity because
you've got 3TB drives instead of 2TB in RAID5, so that you have 15TB rather
than 10TB per system, why not split the storage into 10TB a

I get the redundant part

I've built KVM VMs with virt-install writing to img files via the Gluster

You can often search such archives with Google, specifying for instance

(or fill in the site on the Advanced Search menu).

Okay, they are at http://transpect.com/gluster/ - may be a bit confused
because of system reboots and gluster being shut down and restarted as I was

Update: Now the second system's having the same symptoms.
Maybe I need to just go back to 3.1.3?

Hi,
This setup is two system which have replicated Gluster storage, and also are
the clients for it. In both cases the Gluster mount is handled by autofs.
The setup was quite stable with Gluster 3.1.3 for some weeks. Then a few
days back I upgraded to 3.1.5 - wanted to try it on a less essential s

On Ubuntu 10.04 attr-dev is an alias for libattr1-dev, which seems to
install okay but there's still no ExtAttr.pm

Joe,
Thanks for this contributions.
scan_gluster.pl seems to depend on File::ExtAttr, which when I try to
install it from cpan to Perl v5.10.1 fails at the "make" step for reasons

You can also configure logrotate - which is on most Linux systems - to
handle this. "man logrotate". It'll handle compression and deletion of older
files, too.
