<div dir="ltr"><div><br><br></div>Greetings friends<br><div><br><br>I have a mission to synchronize 2 file servers over an ADSL (10 Mbit) link, I would like to know from you if gluster is suitable for this kind of operation or should I move to something like Unison.<br>
<br><br></div><div>Server A <-> Server B , both with RW operations<br></div><div><br><br><br></div><div>Most documentation I have read so far describes LAN or WAN environment over dedicated super fast and reliable network interfaces.<br>
</div><div><br><br></div><div>Checking in IRC #gluster I got the following answer from a good fellow<br><br>"Gluster is not, per se, a tool for keeping file servers in sync. If you use gluster then you would use geo-replication to sync your primary storage to the server on the other side of the ADSL line"<br>
<br>"AFR (replication) is synchronous. Clients write to both/all servers. Your ADSL line is not suitable for AFR, there's too much latency. geo-rep is asynchronous, which is what I suppose you mean by unilateral."<br>
<br><br></div><div>I am unable to keep tracking of IRC right now due to local firewall policies.<br clear="all"></div><div><br><br></div><div>I am worried that geo-repo is just suitable to mirror a Master Server to Several Slaves, "almost" like rsync.<br>
<br><br></div><div>Could someone enlight me ?<br><br><br></div><div>Thanks a lot<br><br><br></div><div>Hamilton Vera<br></div><div><br><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><br></div><div><br><br>-- <br>Hamilton Vera<br>int Administrator (char Network[],char ComputationalSystems[])<br>
