Hi, I'm setting up gluster to share /usr/local among 24 compute nodes. The basic goal is to be able to change files in /usr/local in one place, and have it replicate out to all the other nodes. What I'd like to avoid is having a single point of failure where one (or several) nodes go down and the gluster volume becomes unavailable everywhere. I've begun to set it up using this example <http://www.gluster.org/docs/index.php/Mixing_DHT_and_AFR>. If all the nodes are both client and servers, how many replicate volumes should I have? I don't want a ton of replication traffic, but redundancy is important. Maximizing the size of the volume is less important to me since I'm just reclaiming otherwise unused local disk space on the nodes. Thanks, Matt
