[Gluster-users] brick -- stripe -- disk usage?

[Kevin Abbey]

Hi,
I created a a distribute stripe with 12 nodes, each with one brick. I 
expected 6 pairs to be striped with the large files but what I see on 
the actual brick is each file duplicated, ie. mirrored.  This is the 
complete opposite of what I expected.  I expected half the large file on 
one server and half on the second server.  This is to allow for file 
sizes larger than an individual brick capacity.

Is my configuration broken/misconfigured or am I completely 
misunderstanding what I see happening?
