[ovirt-users] Storage question: single node gluster?

Hey Alan.

Using a single Gluster node will be like mounting any other storage, just without Gluster's advantages of backuping/distributing the FS.
Also, you can attach nodes later on to your GlusterFS after you start using it.

(Thanks to Sahina Bose from Gluster's team for advicing (: )

Subject: [ovirt-users] Storage question: single node gluster?

Hi There,

This is not strictly oVirt, but is storage-related, so hopefully you
will indulge me?

Is there any detriment (performance or otherwise) in setting up a
single-node glusterFS storage?  I know glusterFS is designed to be used
with multiple nodes, but I am wondering if there are any ill-effects in
configuring current storage as a single-node cluster, with the idea of
possibly adding future nodes in the future?

Thanks! :-)

-Alan
