Hi, I am doing some testing for a system to store Virtual Machine images.. The best way to spread large files is in the striped mode but it provides no data security.. Replicated provides security but not the scale.. Distributed isn't good for performance of large files because it distributes complete files.. So a 50GB file would be resident on one brick.. Now it appears that Distributed can be combined with replicated and stripped but like these don't appear to provide the best setup for large files unless I am mis-understanding.. Would a striped replicated mode not be the best for spreading large files over the bricks while at the same time replicating the data? Is this possible? Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/attachments/20120331/b2b683e1/attachment.htm>
