Noone seems to want to talk to me :( Ok let's change the question to simplier form: is there any way to make a glusterfs cluster to store exactly 2 copies (raid1 like) of files with 6 or 8 bricks scheme except of joining bricks into pairs with AFR and then join pairs into a big single space using UNIFY ? Something like: +------ UNIFY -------+ | | | AFR AFR AFR +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | 1 | | 2 | | 3 | | 4 | | 5 | | 6 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ -- Best regards, Anton Khalikov
