Hello, Commvault Community,
I was searching for documentation about GlusterFS, but not sure if the lead I found really applies to what I want. I was wondering if there is a way to globally exclude files that are of type “fuse.glusterfs”? I found this in the doc, but not sure if it applies to what I’m researching.
Exclude Files From Backup Operations in Hybrid File Store (commvault.com)
Situation:
GlusterFS replicates data multiple times over the cluster, i.e. one file turns into 5 copies across the nodes in the cluster (assuming there are five nodes). We have an exclusion list defined in the Global or Client Filters, but this only works if we know where glusterfs types are being stored.
We recently discovered an unaccounted glusterfs nodes, and as consequences, files were being backed up five times. As you can see, waste of resources.
Is there a way to filter file system types like that doc link I pasted? That link defines excluding txt, jpg, bmp. Not sure if this can be done for Linux filesystems. that looks like this:
[root[DEV]@vx1c54 ~]# mount |grep gluster
omhqp13e75:/devstatic on /content type fuse.glusterfs (ro,default_permissions,allow_other,max_read=131072)
omhqp13e75:/dyn_cfu on /dynamic/coldfusion type fuse.glusterfs (rw,default_permissions,allow_other,max_read=131072)
omhqp13e75:/dyn_admin on /dynamic/admin type fuse.glusterfs (rw,default_permissions,allow_other,max_read=131072)
omhqp13e75:/dyn_eng on /dynamic/engineering type fuse.glusterfs (rw,default_permissions,allow_other,max_read=131072)
