[Gluster-users] File replication

[Aleynikov, Serge]

Does the fact of using AFR to replicate locally written logs by a client
process to a central server slow down the performance of a local writer?

		Hi, 

		I am new to this list, and would like to find out if
GlusterFS can serve the following need. 

		I have N servers running services that log to local disk
and I need the content of these local logs to be replicated in
"close-to-real-time" to some central storage to be accessible by other
tools.

		Can I use GlusterFS for this purpose?  If so, could you
point me to a sample configuration setup? 

	Yes, you can use.
	
	Run glusterfs server on central storage node. with the following
spec file
	
	volume storage
	    type storage/posix
	    option directory <export-directory>
	end-volume
	
	volume server
	    type protocol/server
	    option transport-type <tcp-or-ibverbs>
	    option auth.addr.storage.allow <ipaddress-or-username>
	    subvolumes storage
	end-volume
	
	On the machines where your log files are updated, mount
glusterfs using the following spec:
	
	volume client
	    type protoco/client
	    option remote-host <ipaddress>
	    option remote-subvolume storage
	end-volume
	
	volume local-storage
	     type  storage/posix
	     option directory <local-directory>
	end-volume
	
	volume afr
	     type cluster/afr
	     subvolumes local-storage client
	end-volume
	
	And point your logging process to log on mounted directory.
	
	

		

		Thanks. 

		Serge
