[Gluster-users] Losing disks on Glusterfs

[Mathieu Chateau]

Hello,

As You will already have 5 copies (one per server), adding rendundancy on
storage is wasty.

I would do a 2 node distributed + replication:
2 servers * 4 disk = 8TB replicated to 2 others servers with same setup.

The last server can be abitrer for split brain maybe, or you have to get
another server to get 3 and 3.

Yes in this setup it's a raid 0, so if you loose a disk, the whole 2
replicated server are down.

But you will get much better performance and much more usable space, and
still survive a single server crash.
