I'm in the HW raid camp. Mostly because gluster is not block level, so with large quantities of files replication can take days or weeks. In my case a rebuild/resync can take weeks because of how many files/directories I have in my cluster. With hardware RAID I can just replace the disk and a rebuild happens automatically and very quickly. liam On Mon, Aug 8, 2011 at 4:12 AM, Gabriel-Adrian Samfira <samfiragabriel at gmail.com> wrote: > We use raw disks with our setup.
