[Gluster-users] Distrbute AFR Storage

[Simon Liang]

Well currently I've got 4 servers set up.
        |- ServerA -AFR-> ServerB
Client -|
        |- ServerC -AFR-> ServerD

I keep copying the same 1GB file to the storage, but it always writes to ServerC no matter what I do. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Add scheduler?

Distribute by default will distribute _files_ evenly among its
subvolumes. However, if one of the files is larger than the disk space
available on the node it gets scheduled to, then distribute can do
nothing. If you regularly want to store big files which might not fit
on one of your subvolumes, you might want to try the 'stripe'
translator.
