Hi,

Is there hard limit on the maximum number of bricks per Gluster
volume. And if no such hard limit exists, then is there any best
practice on selecting the number of bricks per volume. Example, if i
would like to create a 200TB for my host, which config below is
better?

HDD: 4TB (1 brick on 1 physical disk)
1 Gluster volume = 10x3 (30 bricks in total)
total 5 Gluster volumes are created and host will combine them as one
logical volume

or

HDD: 4TB (1 brick on 1 physical disk)
1 Gluster volume = 50x3 (150 bricks in total)
total 1 Gluster volume is created


Thanks.

Cw
