In GlusterFS, lets say i have 2 Nodes (Servers) on a Volume. Lets say the volume info is something like this: Volume Name: volume-www Brick1: gluster-server-01:/volume-www/brick Brick2: gluster-server-02:/volume-www/brick From the Client, as we know, we have to mount the volume volume-www by mounting from one Server. Like: mount -t glusterfs gluster-server-01:/volume-www /var/www I still feel there's a choke point since i am connecting to that gluster-server-01 only. - What if it is FAILED? Ofcourse I can manually mount from another healthy Server again. But is there a smarter way (industrial approach) to solve this?
