Yes  I understand. But You can understand and I hope that the gluster 
team can understand, that if I want to expand my computational power and 
storage I can't buy four node In one time, it's to heavy.
Another example, I have a big cluster with 14 node stripe 7. I can't by 
14 other nodes to expand it in one time. It's a big limitation in the 
flexible usage of glusterfs.

Does that mean that glusterfs is only dedicated to small cluster ?

Sincerely.
