Changing the order would not do anything. You can make gluster only read from a designated node/volume but adding option read-subvolume <vol-name> to your replicate definition. something like this volume vol-a type protocol/client option transport-type tcp option remote-host 1.2.3.4 option remote-subvolume brick end-volume [...] volume replication type cluster/replicate subvolumes vol-a vol-b vol-c [...] option read-subvolume vol-a end-volume Cheers Dave
