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.
Hello,
Before you start, please note Samba can now talk directly to GlusterFS, no need to mount it (please double check if stock version can do this, upstream does), as for HA check http://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/doc/Gluster_CTDB_setup.v1....
