I was looking for a scalable-ha nfs storage solution and glusterfs seems to be<br>
the only out there :-)<br>
<br>
I was reading the documentation and I cannot find the difference<br>
between "Replicate<br>
Translator" and "HA Translator": the latest seems to be a particular case of the<br>
first one when I have only two bricks. Is it right?</blockquote><div>Replicate translator provides replication feature, whereas HA (High Availability) translator provides high availability, HA does not do any replication. <br>

I intend to create a scalable nfs cluster, so I can add storage nodes<br>
to increase<br>
storage size: have I to use unify on top of AFR translator (i.e. unify<br>
on a replicated<br>
volume?).</blockquote><div>you can use 'distribute' (formerly DHT) translator over AFR. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

I've read that glusterfs has problems with self-healing and opened<br>
files: is it true?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
