GlusterFS Client with Arbiter
This setup is almost the same as the regular GlusterFS client setup. Except for one difference. The volume file looks different. Complete the normal client setup, then use the following volume file instead. Notice the added option option arbiter-count 1 in the volume replicate section.
/etc/glusterfs/home.vol
volume remote1
type protocol/client
option transport-type tcp
option remote-host gluster01
option remote-subvolume /srv/home/brick
end-volume
volume remote2
type protocol/client
option transport-type tcp
option remote-host gluster02
option remote-subvolume /srv/home/brick
end-volume
volume remote3
type protocol/client
option transport-type tcp
option remote-host gluster03
option remote-subvolume /srv/home/brick
end-volume
