There has been discussion in the past about improvement in the way glusterfs handles unequal components in a distribute, for instance unequal size brick pairs in a distribute/replicate cluster. Has this happened and I missed it? I don't see this listed as a feature in any of the new glusterfs releases nor in the the proposes improvements in glusterfs 3.6. Perhaps it occured under some other name? When one wants to add space to an old cluster or replace dead disks the sweet spot in the size of disks usually will have increased from the size used when the cluster was first built. I can see that one would want to have the bricks making up a replicate to be the same size but for distribute components it is inefficient to have to divide a big new disk into a numerous small bricks.
