[Gluster-users] Tiered storage/hierarchical storage with gluster?

[Craig Carl]

Dennis -
    Not at this point. HSM is a long term goal, it won't happen soon. If 
the 100Mbit machines have less available disk space they will do less 
I/O than the bigger machines, maybe that helps?


Thanks,

Craig

If a user does reuse a file which is on tape, it is automatically moved back to disk storage. The advantage is that the total amount of stored data can be much larger than the capacity of the disk storage available, but since only rarely-used files are on tape, most users will usually not notice any slowdown."
