[Gluster-users] Node count constraints with EC?

[Terry McGuire]

Thanks Ashish, Cedric, for your comments.

I’m no longer concerned about my choice of 4 nodes to start, but, I realize that there’s an issue with my subvolume config options.  Turns out only my 8+3 choice is permitted, as the 4+2 and 8+4 options violate the data/parity>2 rule.  So, 8+3 it is, as 8+2 isn’t quite enough redundancy for me.

Regards,
Terry
