less than the other bricks of the replica. The sizing of the brick will depend on
how many files you plan to store in the volume. A good estimate will be
4kb times the number of files in the replica.</div><div class=""><div><br class=""></div><div>BR,</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Martin</div><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On 11 Dec 2017, at 17:43, Nux! <<a href="mailto:nux@li.nux.ro" class="">nux@li.nux.ro</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="">Hi,<br class=""><br class="">I see gluster now recommends the use of an arbiter brick in "replica 2" situations. <br class="">How large should this brick be?
