Hello, Daniel! I need only 2 uniq nodes to be affected with AFR (or replicate?), 4 servers = 2+2 AFR nodes, if one of them down, ther will be no data-loss, one of you'r examples: [..] volume replicate1 type cluster/replicate subvolumes remote1 remote2 end-volume volume replicate2 type cluster/replicate subvolumes remote3 remote4 end-volume volume replicate3 .. volume replicateN ... volume distribute type cluster/distribute subvolumes replicate1 replicate2 replicate3 replicate4 replicate5 replicate6 .. replicateN end-volume [..] This is distributed+replicate mechanism. How can I combine it with NUFA or change replicate mech. to AFR? And what difference betwen AFR and replicate? Will it work fine, or there is more easy way to have distibuted storage in more than 100 nodes where each two of them replicated? Thanks for your answers. Daniel Maher ?????: > Kirill V.
