[Gluster-users] Use single large bring or several smaller ones?

Having experimented with Gluster for the last month I'm now ready to
create a set-up for production.  This will be the storing VM images.
These are less than 100GB each, with the majority being around 20BG.

The plan is to have 5GB of storage using a replication pair to allow for
fail-over, with geo-replication to another server for backup purposes.
The underlying disks on each server are RAID 10.

Am I better off creating a single 5GB brick on each server or would
there be advantages in creating several smaller bricks?

Thanks,
John
