[Gluster-users] Syntax for creating arbiter volumes in gluster 4.0

[Jim Kinney]

I think the replica 2 arbiter 1 is more clear towards the intent of the
configuration.
I would also support :
replica n <brick 1>,<brick 2>,...,<brick n> arbiter m <brick 1>,<brick
2>,...<brick m>
as that makes it very clear what brick(s) should be the arbiter(s).

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
