I was never able to achieve a stable system that could survive the loss of a single node with glusterfs. I attempted to use replica 2 across 3 nodes (which required 2 bricks per node as the number of bricks must be a multiple of the replica, and you have to order them so the brick pairs span

You need to setup a virtual IP to use as the mount point, most people use keepalived to provide a virtual ip via vrrp for this. Setup something like 10.10.10.10 and use that for your mounts. Right now, if 10.10.10.2 goes away, all your gluster mounts go away and your VMs get paused because the

Hi Andrew, Yes..both on the same node...but i have 4 nodes of this type in the same clusterSo it should work or not ?? 1. 4 physical nodes with 12 bricks each(distributed replicated)... 2. The same all 4 nodes use for the compute purpose also... Do i still require the VIP...or not ??
