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.

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? $> Maik _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users at gluster.org http://supercolony.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
