We will have two distribution legs each containing a replica pair(made of two bricks). When a file is placed on the volume by a user, it will be placed in one of the distribution legs which as mentioned earlier will have only two copies. With replica 2 volumes(volume type: replicate /distributed-replicate) we might hit split-brain situation. So we recommend replica 3 or arbiter volume to provide consistency and availability.<br><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Regards,<br><p style="font-weight:bold;margin:0px;padding:0px;font-size:14px;text-transform:uppercase"><span>Sunil kumar</span> <span>Acharya</span></p>
