I've yet to find a way to make these work 100% on Gluster. Strange

Hello,
what do you mean by "true" clustering ?
We can do a Windows Failover cluster (1 virtual ip, 1 virtual name), but
this mean using a shared storage like SAN.
Then it depends on your network topology. If you have multiple geographical
sites / datacenter, then DFS-R behave a lot better than Gl

Hello,
Yes it's much like a standard Windows File servers. You will only monitor
DFS-R replication through nagios or so, to check backlog/latency in
replication.
For performance, it's all about what you do with a standard Windows file
server anyway:
- Check raid controller settings
- NTFS
No, but files can be accessed from different clients from different nodes.
OK, so from what you are saying, there is no stability or other issues with
DFS keeping an eye on workload, and as long as files accessed from one
node, right?

But no similar workload as my current GFS.
In active/active, the most common issue is file changed on both side (no
global lock)
Will users access same content from linux & windows ?

Hi,
Thank you very much for detailed answer.
Most of the clients are Windows based OS's, but Linux will come in the
future.
Now I know that Windows does a bad job with NFS, so this is one concern
that I have, but I also worried about performance and stability.
I used to work with NFS clustered en
Hello,
By DFS, you mean DFS-R.
Because DFS can also be used only as domain space (DFS-N). This allow to
publish share that hide real server name and so allow to move target
somewhere else as needed.
As I do quite a lot of DFS-R, here are the differences using DFS-R instead
of Gluster:
- Replic
Hi,
I need some help in making this call choosing between the two.
I have no experience with MS DFS or with Windows server OS as a file server.
There are some developers that pushing the DFS direction, mostly because
the applications that will use it and access will be from Microsoft using
CIFS.
