Thanks Mohammed, an informative read. When things have settled down a 
bit at work I'l setup a test volume to attach tiers to. Ironically, now 
we've migrated the production env to gluster, my ability to test is 
lessened  - can't tweak it arbitrarily now :)


Some questions:

- Does the hot tier replication level have to match the cold tier? i.e 
brick for brick?

- I presume the files are promoted across all bricks. i.e you can't have 
different files promoted per brick.

- With sharded volumes its the individual shards that are promoted?



thanks,
