<DIV>Hi all,</DIV>
<DIV>As is known to us all, gluster provides NFS mount. However, if
the mount point fails, clients will lose connection to Gluster. While if we
use gluster native client, this fail will have no effect on
clients. For example:</DIV>
<DIV style="TEXT-INDENT: 2em">mount -t glusterfs host1:/vol1 /mnt</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If host1 goes down for some reason, client works still,
it has no sense about the failure(suppose we have multiple gluster
servers). However, if we use the following:</DIV>
<DIV
style="TEXT-INDENT: 2em">mount -t nfs -o vers=3
host1:/vol1 /mnt</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If host1 failed, client will lose connection to gluster servers.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now, we want to use NFS way. Could anyone give us some suggestion to solve
the issue?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
