<p>This I think, highlights one of glusters few weaknesses - the
inflexibility of brick layout. It would be really nice if you
could just arbitrarily add bricks to distributed-replicate volumes
and have files be evenly distributed among them as a whole. This
would work particularly well with sharded volumes. Unfortunately I
suspect this would need some sort of meta server.<br>
