I've been playing with glusterfs 3.0.4 as well (I havent looked at it
since v1.3.x). I was just thinking about setting up a similar type of
system that you are proposing (for test purposes). a short hand syntax
would be nice, especially when one needs to configure up jbods that
dont let you created big volumes.

glusterfs-volgen is pretty nice already for spitting out a
configuration. I was just wondering if there are plans to add support
for extending existing configurations, such that the administrator
does not need to manually edit the config files if he/she wishes to
add more storage units. Also is there any up to date documentation on
how to grow an existing glusterfs raid0/raid1 system?


Thanks,
Jimmy
