[Gluster-users] Volume Types?

[Jiri Hoogeveen]

Hi Jake,

If you wane have a 200GB replicated volume. You will need something like this.

or 2 Peers with each 1 disk or partition of 200GB for glusterfs
or 2 Peers with each 2 disk or partitions of 100GB for gluster
or 4 Peers with each 1 disk or partition of 100GB for glusterfs

The thing is, when you wane have some form of redundancy, you have to replicate to data also to a other brick on a other Peer. 
Never replicate to a brick on the same Peer!

Grtz, Jiri
