Hey,
since RH took control of glusterfs, I've been looking to convert our old independent RAID storage servers to several non RAID glustered ones.
The thing is that I, here and there, heard a few frightening stories from some users (even with latest release). Any one has experienced with it long enough to think one can blindly trust it or if it is almost there but not yet ready?
Thx, JD
I'm using gluster 3.3.0-1 on two KVM host nodes. I have a 1TB logical volume used as a brick on each node to create a replicated volume. I store my VM's on this volume and have each node mount the gluster volume via localhost using the native FUSE gluster driver. I get about 75-105MB/s over 1Gb Ethernet. Been running this since 3.3 came out. I did quite a bit of failure testing before going live. So far it is working well. I'm only using it as a glorified network RAID1 to make live migration of my VM's fast.
David.
