[Gluster-users] two questions regarding glusterfs cluster: tierd storage and hotspare brick

[John Hearns]

Thanks John.
I got your idea, raid at OS/HW level; But that means you will have two layer of duplication:
   Raid at HW level;
   And another replication at glusterfs level;
   Too much storage waste;


I disagree with that remark.
Storage is cheap. You do not want to depend on reconstructing data from a mirrored copy if you can have a reliable local copy.
