I like the idea @ahasenack, if you have bandwidth for that... or at least to keep this in the backlog... In my previous discourse doc: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ctdb-create-a-3-node-nfs-ha-backed-by-a-clustered-filesystem/11608 I even talked about CTDB + NFS HA and quoted GlusterFS as an example: """ SUMMARY 2 x clustered filesystem servers (could be GlusterFS servers) 3 x nodes as clients to this Clustered Filesystem The 3 NFS nodes will act as clients to Clustered FS The 3 NFS nodes will act as servers for NFS service The NFS service will be High Available among all 3 nodes NFS clients can DNS load balance among the 3 x NFS servers If 1 NFS server goes down, the other NFS server will act on its behalf All NFS servers will serve the SAME FILESYSTEM CTDB lock file MUST reside in a clustered filesystem directory """ Just checked and we're synced with Debian in 8.1-1 for GlusterFS. I'm +1 as I have always liked GlusterFS =). -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
