Striping Across Four Storage Nodes With GlusterFS On Mandriva 2010.0
This tutorial shows how to do data striping (segmentation of
logically sequential data, such as a single file, so that segments can
be assigned to multiple physical devices in a round-robin fashion and
thus written concurrently) across four single storage servers (running
Mandriva 2010.0) with GlusterFS.
The client system (Mandriva 2010.0 as well) will be able to access the
storage as if it was a local filesystem.
GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of scaling to several
peta-bytes. It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA or
TCP/IP interconnect into one large parallel network file system.
Storage bricks can be made of any commodity hardware such as x86_64
servers with SATA-II RAID and Infiniband HBA.

High-Availability Storage With GlusterFS On Mandriva 2010.0 –
Automatic File Replication (Mirror) Across Two Storage Servers
This tutorial shows how to set up a high-availability storage with
two storage servers (Mandriva 2010.0) that use GlusterFS. Each
storage server will be a mirror of the other storage server, and files
will be replicated automatically across both storage servers. The client
system (Mandriva 2010.0 as well) will be able to access the storage as
if it was a local filesystem.
GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of scaling to several
peta-bytes. It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA or

Distributed Storage Across Four Storage Nodes With GlusterFS On
Mandriva 2010.0
This tutorial shows how to combine four single storage servers
(running Mandriva 2010.0) to one large storage server (distributed
storage) with GlusterFS.
The client system (Mandriva 2010.0 as well) will be able to access the
storage as if it was a local filesystem.

Distributed Replicated Storage Across Four Storage Nodes With
GlusterFS On Mandriva 2010.0
This tutorial shows how to combine four single storage servers
(running Mandriva 2010.0) to a distributed replicated storage with GlusterFS. Nodes 1
and 2 (replication1) as well as 3 and 4 (replication2) will mirror each other, and replication1 and replication2
will be combined to one larger storage server (distribution).
Basically, this is RAID10 over network.
If you lose one server from replication1
and one from replication2, the distributed
volume continues to work. The client system (Mandriva 2010.0 as well)
will be able to access the storage as if it was a local filesystem.
