[Gluster-users] GlusterFS over multiples HDD

[Gilberto Nunes]

Well, actually I am not concerned ONLY about mirroring the data, but with
reliability on it.
Here during my lab tests I notice if I pull off a disk and then power on
the server, the LVM crashes...
On the other hand, with ZFS even in degraded state the system booted
normally.
The same happens with mdadm. That's the point.
