<div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gmail_default">Asynchronous replication in GlusterFS is Geo-replication, which is replicating data between two GlusterFS clusters. You cannot create a asynchronous replicated volume. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gmail_default">Basically, you create two volumes in different geographies and then setup "asynchronous replication" b/w the two. The volumes itself could be pure distribute, pure replicate or distributed-replicate.</div>

As you see it’s a basic replicated volume. This volume is mounted on 2 applications servers: 1in Kuwait/1 in Dubai. This volume will act as a cloud based file share for users. <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">
The replication is synchronous. <span style="color:red">Any idea how we can make the replication asynchronous. Any feedback on how we can make the setup more rigid.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
