Best configuration for odd number of different sized bricks

Maik,

You can use the "add-brick" command to add additional bricks to a single volume.  Setting up the volume as replica 2 will give you fault tolerance.  You will not need to add additional servers per se, but it will be required that you add at least two bricks at a time for this setup.

Thanks,

Eco

Subject: Best configuration for odd number of different	sized bricks

Hi,

I just got into Gluster and so far what I have seen is impressive. Now I have some space I really would like to incorporate into a Gluster volume.

There are 5 Servers containing storage in the range from several 100 GB to a few TB each. From what I've read there are several modes to create redundant storage.

Is there a possibility to aggregate the storage into a singe volume with fault-tolerance(e.g. n replicas) without having the need to always add n new servers each time I want to add more storage to the volume?
