[Gluster-users] NUFA replicate-distribute

[Anand Babu Periasamy]

Whole purpose of NUFA is to give affinity to local disks. In a replicated mode, writes 
have to be written across servers. We implemented NUFA solely for HPC scratch processing.
For most work loads, plain distribute is recommended.

See this example below: You need local-volume-name option. Make sure you also include 
write-behind, read-ahead and io-cache translators for performance.

volume nufa
  type cluster/nufa
  option local-volume-name `hostname` # note the backquote, so 'hostname' output will be 
used as the option.
  subvolumes node01 node02 node03 node04
end-volume
