[Gluster-users] gluster dispersed volume configuration

[Dimitri Pertin]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to configure a dispersed volume following this documentation 
page:

http://gluster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Administrator%20Guide/Setting%20Up%20Volumes/#creating-dispersed-volumes

I have a set of 8 storage nodes, and I want the erasure coding settings 
to be (k=4)+(r=2). I understood that 6 bricks must be provided in order 
to create the volume. But my question is: is it possible to exploit the 
set of 8 servers given this coding configuration? My goal is the 
following: for each file, a set of 6 servers among the 8 is selected (in 
a round-robin way for example).

Regards,

Dimitri Pertin
