Lets replicate ZFS with GlusterFS 3.0.8

Lab example cluster of 2x ZFS server nodes ubuntu and ubuntu2 with ZFS distributed via Gluster in RAID1 fashion.
I saw som strange sized files on the glusterfs client when powering down one of the server nodes deliberately.

Installing GlusterFS
# apt-get install libibverbs1
# wget -nd http://download.gluster.com/pub/gluster/glusterfs/3.0/3.0.8/Ubuntu/glusterfs_3.0.8-1_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i glusterfs_3.0.8-1_amd64.deb

Make sure both server/client nodes have the same /etc/host info
root@ubuntu:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.120 ubuntu
192.168.1.149 ubuntu2


node ubunu
# zpool create tank sdb
node ubunu2
# zpool create tank sdb

node ubuntu
# zfs create tank/neo
node ubuntu2
# zfs create tank/trinity


# glusterfs-volgen -n myvol --raid=1 ubuntu:/tank/neo ubuntu2:/tank/trinity

Copy config files created by volgen
# cp ubuntu-myvol-export.vol /etc/glusterfs/glusterfsd.vol
# scp ubuntu2-myvol-export.vol ubuntu2:/etc/glusterfs/glusterfsd.vol

Start up Gluster

root@ubuntu:~# /etc/init.d/glusterfsd start
* Starting glusterfs server glusterfsd
...done.
root@ubuntu2:~# /etc/init.d/glusterfsd start
* Starting glusterfs server glusterfsd
...done.

# mount -t glusterfs myvol-tcp.vol /mnt/glusterfs/
# echo morpheus > /mnt/glusterfs/test.file

Thanks LLNL & GlusterFS developers
