[Gluster-users] Gluster on Thumper

[a s p a s i a]

Hello Harshavardhana,

Thank you for the reply and the reference on how to compile, etc....

Have a few more questions though:

1.  Is there a documentation that addresses replication to an offsite
DR site so that I could deploy a GlusterFS in Site 1 and
mirror/replicate same data on a GlusterFS in Site 2?

2.  Any feedback or opinions on how GlusterFS's performance with very
small millions of files (256k or less), random IO patterns?

thanks in advance,

A.
