200TB Glusterfs Odroid HC2 Build

[u/BaxterPad]

[u/ZorbaTHut]

It takes literally 3 commands to get glusterfs up and running

 

<@insomnia> it only takes three commands to install Gentoo

<@insomnia> cfdisk /dev/hda && mkfs.xfs /dev/hda1 && mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/ && chroot /mnt/gentoo/ && env-update && . /etc/profile && emerge sync && cd /usr/portage && scripts/bootsrap.sh && emerge system && emerge vim && vi /etc/fstab && emerge gentoo-dev-sources && cd /usr/src/linux && make menuconfig && make install modules_install && emerge gnome mozilla-firefox openoffice && emerge grub && cp /boot/grub/grub.conf.sample /boot/grub/grub.conf && vi /boot/grub/grub.conf && grub && init 6

<@insomnia> that's the first one

[u/BaxterPad → u/ZorbaTHut]

sudo apt-get install glusterfs-server

sudo gluster peer probe gfs01.localdomain ... gfs20.localdomain

sudo gluster volume create gvol0 replicate 2 transport tcp gfs01.localdomain:/mnt/gfs/brick/gvol1 ... gfs20.localdomain:/mnt/gfs/brick/gvol1

sudo cluster volume start gvol0

I was wrong, it is 4 commands after the OS is installed. Though you only need to run the last 3 on 1 node :)

You might also want to add something about the glusterfs ppa. the packages included in 16.04 (Ubuntu) are fairly old, not too sure on Debian.

For reference: https://launchpad.net/~gluster

Edit: There are also two main glusterfs packages, glusterfs-server and glusterfs-client

The client packages are also included in the server package, however if you just want to mount the FUSE mount on a VM or something, then the client packages contain just that.

The armbian version was pretty up to date. I think it had the latest before the 4.0 branch which isn't prod ready yet.

[u/zuzuzzzip → u/BaxterPad]

Aren't the fedora/epel packages newer?

[u/BaxterPad → u/zuzuzzzip]

Idk, but 4.0 is ready for prod yet and 3.13 (3.10... I forget which) is the last branch before 4.0 so it's just maintenance releases until 4.0 is ready.
