[Gluster-devel] posix-locks and afr

[Jeroen Koekkoek]

Hi Krishna,

I forgot to mention that it's going to be a "p2p" cluster. It will consist
of two servers, mta1 and mta2, that will run both a server and a client
instance.

Again, thanks in advance.

Regards, Jeroen

Hi Krishna,

I'm sending my current configuration. I used about the same configuration on
the server side. The afr and mtaX-mailstore volumes where on the serverside
before, but that didn't enable fcntl locking.

Thanks in advance.

Regards, Jeroen

Below is my configuration:

---- glusterfs-server.vol ----
# Mailstore dataspace
volume mta1-mailstore-ds
        type storage/posix
        option directory /var/vmail_ds
end-volume

volume mta1-mailstore-ds-locks
        type features/posix-locks
        option mandatory on
        subvolumes mta1-mailstore-ds
end-volume

# Mailstore namespace
volume mta1-mailstore-ns
        type storage/posix
        option directory /var/vmail_ns
end-volume

volume mta1-mailstore-ns-locks
        type features/posix-locks
        option mandatory on
        subvolumes mta1-mailstore-ns
end-volume

# Export
volume server
        type protocol/server
        option transport-type tcp/server
        subvolumes mta1-mailstore-ds-locks mta1-mailstore-ns-locks

        option auth.ip.mta1-mailstore-ds-locks.allow *
        option auth.ip.mta1-mailstore-ns-locks.allow *
end-volume
---- /glusterfs-server.vol ----

---- glusterfs-client.vol ----
volume mta1-mailstore-ds-locks
        type protocol/client
        option transport-type tcp/client
        option remote-host mta1
        option remote-subvolume mta1-mailstore-ds-locks
        option transport-timeout 10
end-volume

volume mta2-mailstore-ds-locks
        type protocol/client
        option transport-type tcp/client
        option remote-host mta2
        option remote-subvolume mta2-mailstore-ds-locks
        option transport-timeout 10
end-volume

volume mta-mailstore
        type cluster/afr
        subvolumes mta2-mailstore-ds-locks mta1-mailstore-ds-locks
        option self-heal on
end-volume
---- /glusterfs-client.vol ----

Jeroen,

Can you detail on the setup including the conf files?

Thanks
Krishna
