[Gluster-users] linux flash filesystems and GlusterFS

[Jay Vyas]

Are there any other requirements other than xattr support?  Would be cool to find ever kernel fs impl and test them automatically on a server (maybe our rack space nodes) somewhere for a series of known gluster requirements.

We use ubifs and jffs2 for filesystem and we would like to apply some high availability strategy to a part of the flash. So has anyone tested GlusterFS with this setup? Is it a viable solution or should we move to an upper layer solution?
