[Gluster-users] Thin Arbiter (was Gluster 7 or 8?)

[Strahil Nikolov]

You already mentioned that regular arbiter works fine for you .

What are the considerations to switch from regular to thin arbiter ?

I think that thin arbiter is suitable for environments where a third node is not possible locally and is a compromise in order to avoid 'replica 2' volumes.


Best Regards,
Strahil Nikolov

OK, so it seems 8.x is the way to go

So what about Thin Arbiter?

Is anyone one using it in production?
