[Gluster-devel] Blocking client when server is down

[Martin Fick]

Hi,

Is there any way to configure a glusterfs client to simply block if the server 
is currently not available.  I know I have asked this in the past and it was 
not possible then.  I thought that perhaps the new HA translator would make 
this possible, but it does not seem to work that way?  Are there any timeouts 
out other options to any of the translators that would make this possible?  

This is the only feature that currently prevents me from using glusterfs as an 
NFS replacement.  If this is not currently possible, are there any plans to 
make it possible, is that a goal for glusterfs 2.0?


Thanks,

-Martin
