3. Servers configuration

Before you go further, you need to know that GlusterFS works in a client/server way. What we will do is to make our servers both client and server for GlusterFS.

Lets start with the server configuration file ON ALL SERVERS: 

vi /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-server.vol

and make it look like this : 

# file: /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-server.vol
 
volume posix
  type storage/posix
  option directory /data/export
end-volume
 
volume locks
  type features/locks
  subvolumes posix
end-volume
 
volume brick
  type performance/io-threads
  option thread-count 8
  subvolumes locks
end-volume
 
volume posix-ns
  type storage/posix
  option directory /data/export-ns
end-volume
 
volume locks-ns
  type features/locks
  subvolumes posix-ns
end-volume
 
volume brick-ns
  type performance/io-threads
  option thread-count 8
  subvolumes locks-ns
end-volume
 
volume server
  type protocol/server
  option transport-type tcp
  option auth.addr.brick.allow *
  option auth.addr.brick-ns.allow *
  subvolumes brick brick-ns
end-volume

Now do : 

glusterfsd -f /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-server.vol

to start the server daemon.
