Hi,

Ideally, both bricks in a replica set should be of the same size.

Ravi, can you confirm?


Yes, correct.

Hi Serkan, 

thanks a lot for the answer.

So, if you are correct, in a distributed with replica environment the best practice is to pair nodes with the smallest size together?

For example:

node1      1 GB
node2     10 GB
node3      4 GB
node4     8 GB
node5     15 GB
node6     7 GB

So:

node1 with node3 (smallest is 1 GB)
node4 with node6 (smallest is 7 GB)
node2 with node5 (smallest is 10 GB)

The command to launch:

gluster volume create gv0 replica 2 node1:/opt/data/gv0 node3:/opt/data/gv0 node4:/opt/data/gv0 node6:/opt/data/gv0 node2:/opt/data/gv0 node5:/opt/data/gv0

Right? In this way I should have 18 GB of free space on the mounted volume (1 GB + 7 GB + 10 GB)

I think, gluster1 and gluster2 became a replica pair. Smallest size
between them is affective size (1GB)
Same for gluster3 and gluster4 (3GB). Total 4GB space available. This
is just a guest though..
