<p class="MsoNormal">Dear List,<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">could anyone enlighten me what happened to the tiered storage feature?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">When finding references to it online, it seemed to be the perfect solution for my problem, but further digging shows it was removed in gluster 6.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">What digging did not show is why it was removed and if there are any suggestions to solve the issue of having fast and slow storage with glusterfs.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I’m looking for a distributed storage for a small cluster (for now 3 nodes, 4 fast GPUs each). Space on NVMe SSDs is limited, the nodes are interconnected with 100Gb Infiniband.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Gluster seemed to be the perfect solution to mirror between the nodes, until I realized that tiered volumes are not supported anymore.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The removal baffles me a bit, since alternatives available under open-source licenses like MooseFS, BeeGFS, CEPH, Lustre have also solutions for hierarchical storage management in some form and the use case seems to be
a common one.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
