[Gluster-users] "Fake" distributed-replicated volume

[Jamie Lawrence]

Greetings, Glusterites -

I have a suboptimal situation, and am wondering if there is any way to create a replica-3 distributed/replicated volume with three machines. I saw in the docs that the create command will fail with multiple bricks on the same peer; is there a way around that/some other way to achieve this?

The reason for this terrible idea is entirely about deadlines interacting with reality. I need to go into production with a new volume I’d really like to be D/R before additional machines arrive.

Thanks,
