It's a good point, thanks. I can potentially throw a lot of hardware at it, so any measures taken against possible split brains are worthy of doing. I'm now trying to understand what a reasonable number of nodes a gluster cluster can have (without major head aches with re-balancing etc.), what people's experience about it etc. On Mon, Dec 5, 2016 at 7:54 PM, David Gossage <dgossage@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > First thing I notice is that without 3 nodes for quorum you run risk of > split brain issues.
