[Gluster-devel] glusterfs file replication question

[devzero at web.de]

hello !

first off, i think glusterfs is great. i have waited/searched very long for something like this!
thanks for making it !

i`m new to glusterfs and have a question:

if i use afr to have redundant copies of files to be stored on 2 or more nodes - when one node goes down and comes back online - what does this mean regarding transferred amount of data for "resync" ?

say i had 10 files open at the time of the crash of a node, and each of those files is sized 1gb - will the "resync" then transfer 10gb of data over the network, i.e. doing a complete copy from the working node to the previously failed one ?

regards
roland
