Hi @all, I've created a Distributed-Replicated Volume consisting of 4 bricks on 2 servers. # gluster volume create glusterfs replica 2 transport tcp \ gluster0{0..1}:/srv/gluster/exp0 gluster0{0..1}:/srv/gluster/exp1 Now I have the following very nice replication schema: +-------------+ +-------------+ | gluster00 | | gluster01 | +-------------+ +-------------+ | exp0 | exp1 | | exp0 | exp1 | +------+------+ +------+------+ | | | | +------+----------+ | | | +-----------------+ If one HD goes down, I'm backed! I'm even backed if one server goes down! Great! But how will it be if I just add another Server with two bricks and rebalance? # gluster volume add-brick glusterfs gluster02:/srv/gluster/exp{0..1} # gluster volume rebalance glusterfs start The replication schema I obviously want is this: +-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+ | gluster00 | | gluster01 | | gluster02 | +-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+ | exp0 | exp1 | | exp0 | exp1 | | exp0 | exp1 | +------+------+ +------+------+ +------+------+ | | | | | | | +----------+ +----------+ | | | +------------------------------------------+ But I think I'll maybe get this one: +-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+ | gluster00 | | gluster01 | | gluster02 | +-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+ | exp0 | exp1 | | exp0 | exp1 | | exp0 | exp1 | +------+------+ +------+------+ +------+------+ | | | | | | +------+----------+ | +-----+ | | +-----------------+ So how can I get the schema I want? Is this even possible? The examples in the official 'Admin Guide' are quite trivial and don't cover this scenario.
