I recommand you not use stripe. I didn't make a fully test and didn't investige it but from my experience there's no need to use stripe. Considering the following: 1 performance (When I test it performance is not good for stripe) 2 data restore, when data loss or spit-brain happens, without stripe you can restore file from backend server very easy I didn't find any use case that stripe shoule be involed. Just for your consideration. 2013/1/11, glusterzhxue <glusterzhxue at 163.com>: > > > > > > glusterzhxue > > ???? glusterzhxue > ????? 2013-01-11 12:48 > ???? gluster-users-request > ??? gluster-devel-request > ???
