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 gluster05
        option remote-subvolume /srv/home/brick
end-volume
 
volume remote2
        type protocol/client

end-volume

end-volume
