[Gluster-users] Replica with non-uniform bricks

[s19n]

Hello,

 as per http://gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2011-May/007788.html
I am advised to use bricks which are uniform in size, but for a number
of reasons this is not possible at the moment in my current setup.

 So the question is: what is the expected behaviour when two bricks
with different sizes are coupled to form a replica? Will the larger
brick keep accepting writes even after the smallest brick has been
filled up?

 In this scenario, what conditions become relevant in the process of
rebalancing a volume? Is there a precedence of the first brick in a
replica (as per volume definition)? 


Thank you very much in advance for your attention,
Best regards
