[MooseFS-Users] Help setting up moose

[Bruno A. <br....@gm...>]

Hi there

We are setting up Moose here in our lab for some testing and we can't quite
understand whats going on.

Here is our small test scenario:

We have two servers with 2 SSD disks each (480GB each disk)

Server1:

Disk1 - Mounted on /mnt/brick1
Disk2 - Mounted on /mnt/brick2

Mounted the moosefsmount on /mnt/moose

This is also where my master is installed

Server2:

Disk1 - Mounted on /mnt/brick1
Disk2 - Mounted on /mnt/brick2

Mounted the moosefsmount on /mnt/moose

We can successfully see the 1.8TB on /mnt/moose on both servers

The question is :

- When our software writes to /mnt/moose, sometimes we see the file taking
up space in the nfs mount and some times not

- When we looked at the 4 disks we have in the two machines, they are not
being used at all! There are no files inside them and their free space
remain at 480GB each, even though we created a 200GB file

- How do make it distribute the files and replicate across the 4 different
disks? (we are using the set goal of 2, but don't see anything being
replicated in the disks)

- In the moose web interface, we still see 1.7TB available. Doesn't it
recognize the files we write to /mnt/moose and distributes it to the disks
and reduces that amount?


Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks
