But the things seems going weird for the following volume: Volume Name: test Number of Bricks: 2 x (2 + 1) = 6 <--- 2 subvolumes (2 data + 1 arbiter) Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: [local-ip]:/tmp/ram/0 <--- Data Brick2: [local-ip]:/tmp/ram/1 <--- Data Brick3: [local-ip]:/tmp/ram/2 <--- Arbiter Brick4: [local-ip]:/tmp/ram/3 <--- Data Brick5: [local-ip]:/tmp/ram/4 <--- Data Brick6: [local-ip]:/tmp/ram/5 <--- Arbiter This is a 'replica 3 arbiter 1' volume. In such case /tmp/ram/3 and /tmp/ram4 are part of the same subvolume and contain data, while /tmp/ram/5 is just an arbiter (no data at all). Loosing 2 bricks from the same subvolume is leading to data loss.
