Hello All- These comments worry me because I have unequal sized bricks in my replicated-distributed volumes, although every replicated brick is the same size as its mirror. I am not using striping. What are the "possible issues that might arise" with with setup, or does this advice only apply to striped volumes? A comment later on in this thread suggested the problems with non-uniform brick sizes were performance related. If that is the case how much could I improve performance by migrating to uniform brick sizes? I would prefer not to do this because my current setup gives me a lot of flexibility. When a volume needs expanding I usually increase the size of the replicated bricks on a pair of servers that have unallocated space, or if new servers are required I create new bricks the size of the extra space the users require. In other words, I don't extend the volume by a particular amount just because the other bricks happen to be that size. Any advice would be much appreciated. -Dan.
