Comment on Migrating from GFS to GlusterFS by marc

Its actually been working very well if things are all GlusterFS. I did have a server fail (nothing to do with GlusterFS) that happened to be the system that served NFS to 32 bit systems.

The native GlusterFS clients all continued to perform fine while the server was done, but the NFS systems hung on I/O. That was to be expected, though.

I haven’t tested it under extremely high disk loads, though. I don’t know yet how it would perform as, say, a mail store for a busy system. But for serving up web content and voicemail files, its been working very, very well.

How has this been going for you? I’ve been keeping an eye on GlusterFS but haven’t given it a spin yet because I didn’t think it was quite ready. Looks like I’ll be evaluating it within the next couple of weeks.

@Joey Not a FUPPES developer, but I'm certainly not afraid to dig into code to solve a problem I may be having.

Glad you found it useful.

I’m in the process of upgrading to 10.04 on most of my installations. Three down, three to go. I’ll post a new guide with the updated packages and steps after I’m done within the next few days.

Congratulation for your how-to. I was just looking for a straightforward way to connect to my xubuntu 10.04 machine without monitor nor keyboard and it works fine.

Only a fix: on my installation, it’s not vn4-common but vn4server

I’m pretty much using stock everything. The version listed of x11vnc that I have installed is 0.9.3.dfsg.1-1ubuntu2, the same.

The option that I am using is -rfbauth not -auth. I haven’t tried it with -auth at all.

Hey Marc -

What version of x11vnc is this for? It appears that the version supplied with xubuntu 9.1 is 0.9.3. With that version, I could not get the -auth option to work. It would let me connect, but as soon as I entered credentials it would disconnect VNC and the gdm logon dialog would reappear on display 0. It seems as though gdm the auth file is randomly generated folder in 9.1.

I downloaded and built x11vnc 0.9.8 and used the “-auth guess” option, which seems to work reliably. I’ve only restarted, connected, and logged on three times so I may be wrong . I also used the “cursor -arrow” switch to change it from the X to an arrow.
