[Gluster-devel] Glusterfs HA & AFR

[Chris Mavin]

Hi All,
 
Can someone clarify the following for me.
 
I'm using Glusterfs RC 2. 
 
If I am using the HA translator rather than AFR, Does this expect to be using a shared storage accessible from both servers?
 
Put another way, is the HA translator simply a way of providing High availability for a SAN?
 
When I test it using 2 servers the active server is written to fine but the backup server simply gets a 0 byte file written to it.
 
Thanks 
 
Chris.
