Hi Edward I have asked questions in the last weeks about implementation of NAS boxes and host vserver machines. What does AFR stand for ? I would like to be able to run guests which have web servers, databases, mail servers and other systems all remotely mounted from 2 NAS servers. I wanted to have the data mirrored between the two NAS's. GlusterFS would seem to do all the above but because its a userland file system it would be fair to ask questions about its performance. Where you able to do any performance for large and small files ? Mike Edward Capriolo wrote: > No I did not. If you are running the host on gluster FS if would be > fairly transparent to the guest.
