Thanks for the example. By this approach you mean that basically the only way to define 2-way replication for example, is to put 2 bricks inside a volume? What if I have say 10 bricks and still need only 2 copies? I will need to define such sub-volumes for each pair? This sounds a bit strange, because then you basically limited to 2 servers instead of to the whole server pool. Is it possible just to add all available bricks to list, then specify how many copies to store? Regards. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
