[Gluster-users] >1PB

[Song]

Hi,

We have the same question. How many nodes are suitable in one gulsterfs?

For example, volume type: DHT + replication(=3)
There are 240 nodes server. Server information is:
disk: 12*1.8T
network: Gigabit Ethernet

40 nodes * 6 clusters?
60 nodes * 4 clusters?
80 nodes * 3 clusters?
120 nodes * 2 clusters?
240 nodes * 1 cluster?

What are limitations to scale larger cluster of glusterfs?

Thanks!

My suggestion is to look at using multiple clusters. Downside is that
your application need to be able to load balance on these clusters but
in terms of scaling, recovery , rebalance and other issues it is a
better approach then one large 1PB cluster
