Hi, We have the same question. How many nodes are suitable in one gulsterfs? For example, volume type: DHT + replication(=3) There are 240 nodes server. Server information is: disk: 12*1.8T network: Gigabit Ethernet 40 nodes * 6 clusters? 60 nodes * 4 clusters? 80 nodes * 3 clusters? 120 nodes * 2 clusters? 240 nodes * 1 cluster? What are limitations to scale larger cluster of glusterfs? Thanks! -----Original Message----- From: gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org [mailto:gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org] On Behalf Of Mohit Anchlia Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2012 11:56 PM To: Andrew Holway Cc: gluster-users at gluster.org Subject: Re: >1PB My suggestion is to look at using multiple clusters. Downside is that your application need to be able to load balance on these clusters but in terms of scaling, recovery , rebalance and other issues it is a better approach then one large 1PB cluster On Mon, Feb 6, 2012 at 10:41 AM, Andrew Holway <andrew.holway at gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Can anyone tell me about their experiences with 1PB and larger gluster > installations.
