Re: [Moosefs-users] Question re: master server failover

[Michal B. <mic...@ge...>]

Hi

As you know a redundant master functionality is right now not a built-in
functionality. This subject is for us very crucial because we know how
important this is and we receive lots of requests about it from many
sources. Unfortunately I cannot give a date when it would be ready. 6 months
is not rather possible.

We've been using MooseFS for more than 5 years and it appears that in real
it is not that big problem. For the moment we recommend using solutions with
eg. ucarp.

Please read this tutorial from Thomas:

Kind regards
Michal

Subject: [Moosefs-users] Question re: master server failover

Hi,

I understand that there's some consideration being given to implementing 
a redundant master server for failover purposes.  I've not seen this 
show up yet on the MooseFS roadmap, though.  Are there any plans for 
building failover into MooseFS and, if so, is there a rough idea of the 
timeline involved (i.e., are we talking about six months or two years 
or...)?

Thanks!

Steve
