[Gluster-users] File Size and Brick Size

[ML Wong]

Have anyone in the list who has tried copying file which is bigger than the
individual brick/replica size?
Test Scenario:
Distributed-Replicated volume, 2GB size, 2x2 = 4 bricks, 2 replicas
Each replica has 1GB

When i tried to copy file this volume, by both fuse, or nfs mount. i get
I/O error.
Filesystem                  Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg0-brick1     1017M   33M  985M   4% /data/brick1
/dev/mapper/vg0-brick2     1017M  109M  909M  11% /data/brick2
lbre-cloud-dev1:/sharevol1  2.0G  141M  1.9G   7% /sharevol1

[xxxxxx at cloud-dev1 ~]$ du -sh /var/tmp/ovirt-live-el7-3.6.2.iso
1.3G /var/tmp/ovirt-live-el7-3.6.2.iso

[melvinw at lbre-cloud-dev1 ~]$ sudo cp /var/tmp/ovirt-live-el7-3.6.2.iso
/sharevol1/
cp: error writing ‘/sharevol1/ovirt-live-el7-3.6.2.iso’: Input/output error
cp: failed to extend ‘/sharevol1/ovirt-live-el7-3.6.2.iso’: Input/output
error
cp: failed to close ‘/sharevol1/ovirt-live-el7-3.6.2.iso’: Input/output
error

I know, we have experts in this mailing list. And, i assume, this is a
common situation where many Gluster users may have encountered.  The worry
i have what if you have a big VM file sitting on top of Gluster volume ...?

Any insights will be much appreciated.
