[Gluster-devel] Confused on AFR, where does it happen client or server

[Anand Avati]

Here is a very nice tutorial from Paul England which gives a usage case for
server side replication and high availability -


http://www.gluster.org/docs/index.php/GlusterFS_High_Availability_Storage_with_GlusterFS

The configuration in the article can be further simplified by removing the
unify layer and having only AFR and will work for most users. unify will be
needed in this setup only if you want to extend this config with something
more advanced.
