Hi Phil, It's great to know that you are using Gluster. It would be easy to make suggestions on the points you bring up if there is more information on what use your want to put the system to. Regards, Tejas. ----- Original Message ----- From: "phil cryer" <phil at cryer.us> To: gluster-users at gluster.org Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2009 11:48:54 AM GMT +05:30 Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi Subject: Recommended GlusterFS configuration for 6 node cluster We're setting up 6 servers, each with 24 x 1.5TB drives, the systems will run Debian testing and Gluster 3.x. The SATA RAID card offers RAID5 and RAID6, we're wondering what the optimum setup would be for this configuration. Do we RAID5 the disks, and have GlusterFS use them that way, or do we keep them all 'raw' and have GlusterFS handle the replication (though not 2x as we would have with the RAID options)? Obviously a lot of ways to do this, just wondering what GlusterFS devs and other experienced users would recommend.
