[ovirt-users] Re: Using NFS on Gluster
Hi Indivar,
You can do that , but is complicated.
First, I would recommend you to use either replica 3 or replica 3 arbiter 1 cluster
volumes.
Second , you have 2 options - to use NFS provided by Cluster Cluster ,but this is
deprecated and you will have to migrate from that option once it get's completely
removed.
Third option is to use CTDB to fail over your floating VIP and to start NFS-Ganesha.
The benefit of using NFS-Ganesha is that it uses libgfapi and connects to all cluster
nodes simultaneously providing accumulated performance.
Best Regards,
Strahil Nikolov
