Hi,
Those thinking that it's not a good idea, do you mind explaining your point of view? GlusterFS seems like the only real alternative to a highly priced SAN for the primary storage...

For example: /bin/mount -t nfs -o proto=tcp IP:/share /mnt/gluster/ If you are using CitrixXen you should mount the share and make it as SR. For cloudstacka is clear because you should use the option PreSetup when creating PrimaryStorage. Personally, I doubt that using GlusterFS as a primary storage is a good solution but for secondary storage it should be very usefull. >> And maybe as a Swift backend. -- @shankerbalan M: +91 98860 60539 | O: +91 (80) 67935867 [email protected] [2] | www.shapeblue.com [3] | Twitter:@shapeblue ShapeBlue Services India LLP, 22nd floor, Unit 2201A, World Trade Centre, Bangalore - 560 055 This email and any attachments to it may be confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
