[Gluster-users] Maximum bricks per volume recommendation

[Serkan Çoban]

It depends on your workload and expectations.
I have 1500 bricks in single volume and happy with it.
I don't do metadata heavy operations on it.
I also 4000 bricks single volume in plan if it pass the evaluations.
Just do your tests and make sure it works before going production.
