High-Availability Storage With GlusterFS On Ubuntu 10.04 - Automatic File Replication (Mirror) Across Two Storage Servers This tutorial shows how to set up a high-availability storage with two storage servers (Ubuntu 10.04) that use GlusterFS. Each storage server will be a mirror of the other storage server, and files will be replicated automatically across both storage servers. The client system (Ubuntu 10.04 as well) will be able to access the storage as if it was a local filesystem. GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of scaling to several peta-bytes. It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA or TCP/IP interconnect into one large parallel network file system. Storage bricks can be made of any commodity hardware such as x86_64 servers with SATA-II RAID and Infiniband HBA.

Would like to respectfully request a Howto with server side replication...i.e. without the client. You rule!
Good writeup, but now it's outdated. Please do one on GlusterFS 3.1.x, as the configuration has completely changed. Thanks.
CAUTION: Gluster configuration has changed since this article was written. The Refer to the Gluster Information Wiki for the current steps+commands to configure Gluster.
