Let's assume a 3 node cluster with replica 3 and a huge file (1GB) with shard size of 100MB Gluster automatically create 10 chunks for the file. In a 3 node cluster with replica 3, all chunks are on every server. A node dies. When the node comes back online, self healing is triggered. In this case, the whole file would be healed, as all shards must be replicated, right ? Any advantage with this over a standard configuration without shard? _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
