Other than DRBD and Hot standby are there any other alternatives? We want to have a redundant copy of our data and was wondering if rsync is the only way to accomplish this. ___ Lustre-discuss mailing list Lustre-discuss@lists.lustre.org http://lists.lust

Not to continue an off-topic thread, but how big was your Gluster deployment? I am curious because we found it unusable with ~50TB and 5-10 million files (even though our goal was several hundred). Jordan > Hi all, > > Regarding to the comparsion of Lustre with GlusterFS, i have the > fallowing
