[Gluster-users] Interleave or not

[Nathan Stratton]

Lets say you had 4 servers and you wanted to setup replicate and 
distribute. What methoid would be better:

server	sdb1
xen0	brick0
xen1	mirror0
xen2	brick1
xen3	mirror1

replicate 	block0 - brick0 mirror0
replicate 	block1 - brick1 mirror1
distribute	unify - block0 block1

or

server	sdb1	sdb2
xen0	brick0	mirror3
xen1	brick1	mirror0
xen2	brick2	mirror1
xen3	brick3	mirror2

replicate	block0 - brick0 mirror0
replicate	block1 - brick1 mirror1
replicate	block2 - brick2 mirror2
replicate	block3 - brick3 mirror3
distribute	unify - block 1 block2 block3 block4
