Hi Kirby,<br> One can install the glusterfs rpm without fuse part. <br><br>'bash# rpm -ivh glusterfs<version>.rpm --without client'<br><br>or if you are building from source, <br><br>'bash# ./configure --disable-fuse-client'<br>
<br>That way, you can be sure that the server which is used for exporting the filesystem is stable (without the fuse module).<br><br>Hope this info is useful for you.<br><br>Regards,<br>Amar<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I use RHEL-5.2<br>
What's your point of the distribution? 'NO_CONTENT_TYPE' problem or FUSE problem?<br>
The FUSE rpm does not come with RHEL, it should come from somewhere I do not know now.<br>
<br>
Do you mean you can set up both client and server in the same process? How can I do it? Is it a new feature in the 2.0rc1?<br>
<br>
However I do not think it is always a good idea, the server role is much more stable than the client role. If you mix the 2, you would lost the stability.<br>

If it's a server-only (or client-only) setup, then there's only one process<br>
anyway, so I don't see a problem. If a machine is both a client and a<br>
server, then having both in a single process results in a considerable<br>
speed-up because it avoids a process switch and doesn't have to push all of<br>
the communications through the socket layer and/or the IP stack. The<br>
performance boost (and the CPU usage drop) is quite noticeable on my<br>
systems.<br>

What distribution are you talking about? I don't remember this being the<br>
case on RedHat based distributions.<br>
