Hi Victor,
Thanks for the response. Since writing my question we have been able to
take over another server, which does have enough drive space for this
job, so it's now merely an academic question.
regards,
John

We are/were running a simple 1x2 replica volume and have had a major failure

the time being, but don't have another available server with sufficient
drive space. Working on the assumption that we will not increase the disk
usage, and will therefore not get anywhere near the capacity of the smaller
server's drives, is it safe to create a replica using mismatched brick
sizes? Will gluster even allow that?
I did bit of testing of this some time ago. Not with the lastest Gluster
mind you... You can have different size bricks in a volume but you
should always have the same size bricks in a replica.
You say that there's enough space and no space will be consumed after
etc and in theory this could work. But I wouldn't certainly recommend
this kind of setup.
