This is due to be added in 3.3 (now in beta): http://community.gluster.org/q/what-s-new-in-glusterfs-3-3/ Of course, a replicated *distributed* volume exists. The difference is that a distributed volume puts each file entirely on one disk of the set, whilst a striped volume puts chunks of each files on each disk. > when I want to grow that volume I can grow it adding one brick and its > replica or I have to add the stripe and Its replica also? I don't really understand the question. For a replicated distributed volume where the data is replicated N times, you have to add N bricks at a time; I would imagine the same will be true of a replicated striped volume.
