Hi Thomas, thats a huge storage. What I can say from my usecase - dont use Gluster directly if the files are small. I dont know, if the file count matters, but if the files are small (few KiB), Gluster takes ages to remove for example. Doing the same in a VM with e.g. ext4 disk on the very same Gluster gives a big speedup. There are many options for a new Gluster volume, like Lindsay mentioned. And there are other options, like Ceph, OrangeFS. How do you want to use the JBODs? I dont think you would use every single drive as a brick... How are these connected to the servers? Im only dealing with about 10TiB Gluster volumes, so by far not at your planned level, but I really would like to see some results, if you go for Gluster!
