Re: [Gluster-devel] High availability doesn't exist in version 1.3 glusterfs ? (fwd)

[Kevan Benson]

I've done quite a bit of testing on this the last few months, and high 
availability configurations do work, you just need to know exactly 
what's going on when designing your configuration.  Look in the archives 
for the past 30-45 days, and you'll see quite a lot of info about HA 
configurations and how to configure them for robustness.

In short, my suggestion would be to move the unify to the client side 
and see how it works for you.
