[Gluster-users] NUFA + replicate

[Daniel Jordan Bambach]

This probably wont appear properly (see below), but as I understand  
it, NUFA wont replicate on its own, but you -could- NUFA across two or  
more sets of replicated bricks as below:

This way you get the parallelism of NUFA and the redundancy through AFR.


{ecp1, ecp2} - replicate       {ecp3, ecp4} - replicate

           |                                                  |
          ----------------------------------------
                                   |
                             NUFA


I have been proven wrong before tho!
