Hello All,
I recently discovered the new arbiter functionality of the 3.7 branch so I decided to give it a try. First off, I too am looking forward to the ability to add an arbiter to an already existing volume as discussed in the following thread: https://www.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2015-August/023030.html.
However, my first question for now is can someone perhaps go into a bit of detail regarding the difference between using this new arbiter functionality versus adding a dummy node with regards to helping to eliminate split-brain? In other words, a bit of information on which is best and why?
Second, I noticed at the following URL where is discusses this new functionality it says, and I quote "By default, client quorum (cluster.quorum-type) is set to auto . . ." which I found to be a bit confusing. After setting up my new cluster I noticed that none of the quorum settings including cluster.quorum-type seem to have a setting?

Thank you.
