Hello Andreas, 
we are testing stripe 2 replica 3 arbiter 1 gluster volume, it's running, but not supported by Ovirt 3.5.6.2 ( can't create 'storage" , with "unsupported" message )
This is running in 5 node gluster. Node 5 dedicated only for arbiter bricks and has no "big disks".

exam:
gluster volume create AAAA stripe 2 replica 3 arbiter 1  \
brick1_data:/replica1/GFS  brick2_data:/replica1/GFS brick5_arbiter:/replica1/GFS   \
brick3_data:/replica2/GFS  brick5_data:/replica2/GFS brick5_arbiter:/replica2/GFS 

Arbiter node hold only metadata and is common for all volumes. Can run VMs ( data over interconnect )

So if you have a 4 node cluster is it realy needed to have a third
replica? Imho the 2 of the nodes could also be used as arbiters?
I'm not sure I understand. The 'arbiter' volume is a special type of 
replica volume where the 3rd brick of that replica (for every replica) 
only holds metadata. So if you're asking if this brick itself can be 
co-located on a node which holds the other 'data' bricks of the volume, 
then yes that is possible.

Does it make sense to open a feature request in the bugtracker?

Hi List,

we just upgraded out 4 node cluster from 3.5.8 to 3.7.8.

Because of replica 2 on all volumes i run into problems with read only
file systems of vm images when running on 3.5.x. As i know now the
solution would be to have replica 3 or at least use arbiter volumes.

Yesterday i stumbled over this post in the list which i missed before
(damn spam filter):

https://www.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2015-November/024191.html

Steve Dainard is pointing out that 3.7.x uses an automatic arbiter, when
you have 4 nodes configured as distributed/replicated.

Is this true? Could not find something about it in the documentation :-/
There is no 'automatic' arbiter for replica 2. I think he was referring
to the dummy node peer probed for maintaining server quorum.

Would be nice i could save on having 2 more nodes this way.

If not, is there a chance to see such feature in the future?
