[Gluster-users] How can I keep glusterfs providing service to customer when client fail over ?

    I try to use *Setting up AFR on two servers with client side
replication<http://www.gluster.org/docs/index.php/Setting_up_AFR_on_two_servers_with_client_side_replication>

It is not possible to provide client failover in the current versions. At
best you can have intelligent scripting to remount the service.


   Another question, as we know, glusterfs load spec vol when it starts. And

This features (hot-add) will be coming in the newer releases of glusterfs.
