Hi list, I'm planning to setup a two-node "cluster" with file replication and samba. I've used drbd in the past with success, but now there isn't drbd on the official repo but only from elrepo. I want follow centos Line and than switch to GlusterFS.
Said that, I'm new to GlusterFS.
I have two hosts with a 2tb disk space for replica. I've ridden that glusterfs is not compatible with smb/cifs/nfs and that for this purpose I must mount locally the volume and share it with samba and the hosts must act as client and server at the same time.
It is possibile shares a mounted disk on /data with samba, and apply a replica volume on /data without using glusterfs export?
Example: [Host1] [Host2] /data -> smb /data -> smb gluster_replica<---------------->gluster_replica
Ip and services will be managed from corosync+pacemaker.
There will be problems and complication with this configuration about replication/sync?
Thanks in advance.
Alessandro.
