[Gluster-users] Rsync on bricks filesystem?

[Yannick Perret]

Hello,

we have some replica-2 volumes and it works fine at this time.
For some of the volumes I need to setup daily incremental blackups (on 
an other filesystem, which don't needs to be on glusterfs).

As 'rsync' or similar is not very efficient on glusterfs volumes I tried 
to use direct rsync beetween brick filesystem and an other filesystem 
(both on the same storage server(s)). At this time using FUSE or NFS 
access on storage server with rsync is resp. ~ 80x / 20x slower than 
direct access (on a ~80Go volume with many small files).

Considering that the glusterfs volume is "clean" (no heal…) is there any 
problems/drawbacks doing that? Or an other cleaner solution?
And what is the best way to check that a volume is "sane"? Parsing 
output of 'gluster volume heal XX info' seems dangerous if output evolve 
in the future, and I can't see specific return codes for that.

Thanks.

Regards,
