[Gluster-users] GlusterFS and iScsi target export

[Roman]

Hi, Cong!

Well, there is not much to advice from my experience. GlusterFS is FS type
storage, while iscsi is blockdevice. You can't export gluster bricks as
iscsi targets directrly. At least at this moment. Who knows, mby devs will
surprise us some way in this direction :) Mby HA-LVM is your pick this time
? http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/high-availability-storage-ha-lvm
