I want to store all applications on one brick, and all logs and cached data into another brick, all user data and home directories in another brick, and backups on another brick, etc.Is there a way to do this, similiar to how replication is specified, eg option datalocation /var/*:brick1,/home/*:brick2-afr
No, not by specifying an option, but you can simply have a number of server bricks which will achieve that. Have a server for /var, a server for /home - and have the client mount each server in the place thats required.
This way, I can put more replication on user data, and less so on less important data, similiar to how afr can specify which types of files get x number of backups.
Having different servers, you could specify different afr across each server doing exactly that.
If not, please add to feature request maybe to the unify translator.
I dont believe this is required. That would place too much complexity on the unify xlator. Defining different servers and client mount points should be the best way to go here :)
Matt.
