Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
I have found a similar question in the ML but didn't find the answer
I wanted. <br>
My situation is the following :<br>
We have 2 existing data storage unit with 72TB each, with 10TB left.
Currently these storage unit are synced using rsync periodically. We
want to tansform these 2 nodes into glusterfs bricks without loosing
any data or deleting a node. <br>
<br>
I was thinking setting up the 2 nodes with glusterfs in replica this
way :<br>
<br>
1) Rsync server1/brick1 and server2/brick2 content<br>
2) Create the gluster replica and start :<br>
gluster volume create volume1 replica 2 transport tcp
server1:/brick1 server2:/brick1<br>
gluster volume start volume1<br>
<br>
Then, should I run a healing process, or stat each files in order to
self heal ?<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
<br>
</font>What happens if there is a slight difference between the 2
nodes, mathematically if :<br>
server1/brick1= server2/brick1+delta <br>
<br>
Will the delta part impact server1, or will it be lost ?<br>
<br>
Maybe I worry for nothing, but as these 2 nodes host important data,
I wanted to make sure that eveything is OK.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help !<br>
