We were waiting for libgfapi support to show up for long = time but finally we had to give up waiting and start using fuse mounts. = Everything has been good so far and we haven't seen any big issues with = GlusterFS. We even had hardware problems on one of the storage nodes but = RHEV and GlusterFS survived through that without problems. Our setup is rather small and it has only 4 compute nodes and 2 storage = nodes. Of course we expect it to grow but biggest issue for us is that = we are bit uncertain how many VM's we can run on it without affecting = too much performance. We are also looking at possibility of creating 3-6 node clusters where = each node is acting as compute and storage node as well. Hopefully we = will have test setup running in about week. What kind of issues you have had with GlusterFS? -samuli Nathan Stratton <nathan@robotics.net> kirjoitti 10.6.2014 kello 2.02: them
