Can I use glusterfs for replication and gfs2 as filesystem?
 
Hi,

I want to prepare a HA Storage.

I am thinking of using glusterfs for replication and gfs2 as file system.

Is it possible?

GFS2 can be used only with DRBD?

I need a HA storage but don't want to use DRBD for replication.

If GFS2 is possible with glusterfs, can some one give link to documentation.

I tried to search but dint get it.

I have configured glusterfs in replication mode but want to use gfs2 instead of xfs. Yes I have used xfs as filesystem in glusterfs configuration.

I believe it only supports XFS:

Thanks!

Can we try using gfs2 as an experiment with some hack.

Has anyone tried it?

Closing it,as I don't think it can be done.
