The 'Better peer identification' part is completed. GlusterD can now correctly identify the mentioned peer, regardless of the type of name used (IP, FQDN, short name). It also laid down a framework on which we can build a nice multi-interface support in the future, as we can now associate multiple

Heartbeats, quorums, etc. should also be aware of multi-homed hosts. Definitely for that feature. I have spent the last six years managing an SGI Clustered XFS setup. The heartbeat for CXFS tends to run on a completely private network - a set of dumb switches, and interfaces which carry no

What if the gluster servers are also clients? I locally plan to use a number of servers acting as gluster and VM servers, so that gluster serves both the VM's and other clients. I think that fits fairly well into this paradigm. Note that the routing of traffic is by *type* (e.g. user I/O,

Forgive me for a stupid question, I hav looked at the Wiki page on multiple networks. If I have a set of Gluster storage servers which have both a gigabit network connection and a 10Gig network connection (or an Infiniband network connection) how do I make sure the Gluster traffic goes over

Hi all may I just add a question to the topic? In a scenario with (say) two or three servers, one distributed volume, native (fuse) clients, and stable filesystems with more read than write operations, what is the typical amount of traffic between the servers, compared to the client-server
