hi

so it should be setup something like this ?
and clients same setup as before ?

Thanks


volume gfs
  type storage/posix
  option directory /mnt/gluster/gfs1
end-volume

volume gfs-afr
  type storage/posix
  option directory /mnt/gluster/afr-gfs1
end-volume

volume iothreads1
  type performance/io-threads
  option thread-count 8
  subvolumes gfs
end-volume

volume iothreads2
  type performance/io-threads
  option thread-count 8
  subvolumes gfs-afr
end-volume


volume server
  type protocol/server
  option transport-type tcp/server
 option listen-port 6996
  subvolumes iothreads1 iothreads2
  option auth.ip.gfs.allow *
  option auth.ip.iothreads1.allow *
  option auth.ip.iothreads2.allow *
  option auth.ip.gfs-afr.allow *
end-volume
