<div dir="ltr"><div>so are you asking if gluster would do all the load balancing for you for static content?

<br></div><div>Curious if anyone has tried this and the results are as good /comparable to just manually replicating the files on normal disks. <br></div><div><br></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">
