Arbiter is to give the same consistency as replica-3 with 3 nodes, without
the need to have a full sized 3rd brick [1]. It will store the files and
their metadata but no data. This acts as a quorum brick to
avoid split-brains.
Since there are 4 nodes available here, and based on the configuration of
the available volumes (requested volume info for the same) I was thinking
whether the arbiter brick can be hosted on one of those nodes itself, or a
new node is required.
