Posted Wed, 02/25/2009 - 18:28 by ma

In this tutorial I will show you how to install GlusterFS in a scalable way to create a storage cluster, starting with 2 servers on Centos 5.2. Files will be replicated and splitted accross all servers which is some sort of RAID 10 (raid 1 with < 4 servers). With 4 servers that have each 100GB hard drive, total storage will be 200GB and if one server fails, the data will still be intact and files on the failed server will be replicated on another working server.
