<P><SPAN LANG="fr"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi,</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="fr"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I've just installed a new glusterfs architecture to replicate my storage tank.</FONT></SPAN>
<BR><SPAN LANG="fr"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We have two servers with two disk array, nothing big… Once a day we make backup of our entire server park to one array.</FONT></SPAN>
<BR><SPAN LANG="fr"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">And I would use glusterFS to replicate my backup data to the second disk array.</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="fr"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have configured gluster for that but I have a very important question :</FONT></SPAN>
<BR><SPAN LANG="fr"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Do GlusterFS support hard link on Linux system ?</FONT></SPAN>
<BR><SPAN LANG="fr"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Of course we need many hard links to map data which don't change between two backups.</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="fr"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">My second question is : Why the command<I> gluster volume start REP_TEST</I> automatically mount the volume in /etc/glusterd/mount/REP_TEST ??</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="fr"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">This situation is very bad for me because I backup /etc changes all day long… and I don't want backups my entire storage array with /etc…</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="fr"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I'm starting research for the second point… but if someone can give me the good conf file ? :)</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="fr"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thank you in advance.</FONT></SPAN>
