[Gluster-users] bonding question

[Dan Lambright]

The problem I ran into with MPIO and gluster was it did not recognize two replicated subvolumes as belonging to the same volume. If I recall the target id (WWID) of each subvol needs to be the same for the "grouping" to work.  I was able to workaround this with a hack, but it did not work out of the box.
