In GlusterFS, lets say i have 2 Nodes (Servers) on a Volume. Lets say the volume info is something like this:Volume Name: volume-wwwBrick1: gluster-server-01:/volume-www/brickBrick2: gluster-server-02:/volume-www/brickFrom the Client, as we know, we have to mount the volume volume-www by mounting from one Server. Like:mount -t glusterfs  gluster-server-01:/volume-www  /var/wwwI still feel there's a choke point since i am connecting to that gluster-server-01 only.What if it is FAILED?Ofcourse I can manually mount from another healthy Server again. But is there a smarter way (industrial approach) to solve this?
GlusterFS how to failover (smartly) if a mounted Server is failed?
mount;nat;failover;glusterfs
When you are doing this:mount -t glusterfs  gluster-server-01:/volume-www  /var/wwwYou are initially connecting to one of the nodes that make up the Gluster volume, but the Gluster Native Client (which is FUSE-based) receives information about the other nodes from gluster-server-01.  Since the client now knows about the other nodes it can gracefully handle a failover scenario.
