Re: adding a node

Hi aytac zeren,

In order to have a healthy volume, you need to have bricks as factors of 4. Which means if you have 4 bricks and want to extend your setup with additional brick, then you will need 4 other bricks in your cluster, for your setup.

I don't recommend to host more than one brick on a host as it would cause data loss on failure of the node, if your master and redundant copy is stored on the same host.

Aytac

Yes  I understand. But You can understand and I hope that the gluster team can understand, that if I want to expand my computational power and storage I can't buy four node In one time, it's to heavy.
Another example, I have a big cluster with 14 node stripe 7. I can't by 14 other nodes to expand it in one time. It's a big limitation in the flexible usage of glusterfs.

Does that mean that glusterfs is only dedicated to small cluster ?

Sincerely.
