I think you should be able to do the following: a) set up two volumes on each server: primary and backup b) make three replicate volumes rep1: primary1 backup2 rep2: primary2 backup3 rep3: primary3 backup1 c) make a distribution of the three replicates: dist: rep1 rep2 rep3 Glusterfs probably won't report the right free space unless you have separate partitions for the primary and backup volumes.
