[Gluster-users] supermicro 60/90 bay servers

Our use case is archive storage so we are mainly after high capacity setups
with some sort of resilliency. We do have 10gig nics on these boxes, but
thats mainly for resync etc. For our end user traffic we dont need more
than 1gig per server.

Is it possible to change the EC setup when/if we double the number of nodes
in the cluster?

kind regards
ingard
