Hi!

 

As far as I understand you try to make MooseFS work over WAN connection? Unfortunately unless you have a really quick connection it’d rather not work optimally. You may also have a look at this reply:

If you need any further assistance please let us know.

 

 

Kind regards

Subject: [Moosefs-users] My Project with MooseFS

 

Hello everybody,

I'm a new french user (sorry for my bad english) of the Moose FS. I have installed Moose on a development infrastructure to test it.

I will try to explain you what i want to do :
I'm a reseller IT and i sell Linux server to my customer. The aim : do backup of all server.
They are all connected to my VPN (server 100Mbits in datacenter). The Master are setup on it.
I want to install chunkserver on all server. Near 300To will be available.

Each server will copy data on this FS with a goal = X (for example 4). All server are connect to internet thanks ADSL.

After some test, i have a little problem with network performance.

Example :
If i copy file1.txt on the MooseFS with a goal of 5, the node will sent the file to the other node to have the replication.
So the server upload 5x the size of the file. It's not very optimized. 
I search a solution to upload the file to the VPN Server (i can setup a chunkserver on it) and only the VPN Server will deploy the file on the another chunkserver to use the big bandwidth of this server -> 100Mbits 

I hope i was clear. 
Thanks you

Cordialement,
