Why not keeping the shard xlator always on but set on a very high value so that shard is never happening?

I'm using 3.8 2) "advisable" doesn't mean "you have to". It's an advice, not the only way to disable a feature 3) i'm talking about a confirm to add in the cli, nothing strange. all software ask for a confirm when bad things could happens. _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
