[Gluster-users] GlusterFS & Disk configuration

[Dev Sidious]

Hello,

The Quick Start Guide suggests having "At least two virtual disks, one
for the OS installation, and one to be used to serve GlusterFS storage
(sdb)".
(https://gluster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Quick-Start-Guide/Quickstart/)

For my particular needs this suggestion is less than optimal, therefore
I created the storage directory on the same disk. Gluster whined about
it and I had to use "force".

I would like  to understand what the implications are in this case, but
I haven't been able to find much material on the subject.

Any input would be most welcome.

Thank you.
