You can experiment with FUSE mount options: halo-latency & halo-min-replicas
halo-latency: The threshold below which all other clients will
consider children (bricks) connected.
halo-min-replicas: The minimum number of replicas which are to
be enforced regardless of latency specified in the above 3 options.
If the number of children falls below this threshold the next
best (chosen by latency) shall be swapped in.
If you have one brick per site set halo-min-replicas to 1 and halo-latency
very low so it will write to the local brick (watch that fuse connects to
local gluster - it tends to mount to remote on boot);
then files written will "heal" to the other bricks on a background. Heal
performance is pretty solid.
I wouldn't do it for VMs
With my clusters around 10ms max latency I dont mind slow writes to cluster.
Real problem are reads from cluster as it does all attr queries 20 times
each file,
and if you have maildir 100k emails in a folder ...
I had to write overlay fuse file system to direct reads directly to the
brick through the kernel, bypassing all gluster fuse stuff:
all reads fly, and writes go regular way

You can also look in to Syncthing - surprisingly made on Go it is pretty
solid. Especially for 2 replicas you want.
Shoot own discovery server on each node or on some cloud and have your
sites sync with file change monitoring 0 delay.

Post by OÄuz YarımtepeAny idea about the Halo configuration? Didn't find any documentation about
it.
Post by Vlad Kopylovif you going for redundancy go for 3 full nodes, arbiter setup seen bugs
doubt anything good will come out of using NFS
if you doing websites use VMs as hypervisors are using libgfapi
or implement libgfapi in your app directly

Post by OÄuz YarımtepeHi,
I am trying to replicate nfs mount areas between to sites that will work
active active. I was checking the methods that i can use via GlusterFS and
it seems replication should be the way. I am not sure how many nodes should
i use fo replication. I may need to make maintenance on the GlusterFS
servers and i don't want to cause server 500 failures because of
inexistance of mount areas. Any tips? Should i use arbiter?
Regards.
