[Gluster-devel] gluster config for fileserver

[Anand Avati]

Matthew,
 Some tips which could possibly help your setup

1. since most of the access is read-only, and served off web, you might want
to mount glusterfs with high values of -e and -a (say a few minutes).

2. have io-threads on the server so that io requests are handled smoothly
from more than one client (web server).

3. you might want to cache static and most frequently served content (like
html/jpg files) with io-cache on the client by giving their pattern higher
priority.

If I traveled to the end of the rainbow
As Dame Fortune did intend,
Murphy would be there to tell me
The pot's at the other end.
