Re: Node count constraints with EC?

Terry,

It is  (data/parity)>=2. You can very well create 4+2 or 8+4 volume.
Are you seeing any error message that you can not create 4+2 config? (4 = data brick and 2 = redundancy brick count)

Thanks Ashish, Cedric, for your comments.

I’m no longer concerned about my choice of 4 nodes to start, but, I realize that there’s an issue with my subvolume config options.  Turns out only my 8+3 choice is permitted, as the 4+2 and 8+4 options violate the data/parity>2 rule.  So, 8+3 it is, as 8+2 isn’t quite enough redundancy for me.

Regards,
Terry

Good point Cedric!!
The only thing is that, I would prefer to say "bricks" instead of "nodes" in your statement.

"starting with 4 bricks (3+1) can only evolve by adding 4 bricks (3+1)"
Oh right, thanks for correcting me !

Cheers

Also keep in mind that dispersed cluster can only be expanded by the number of initial nodes, eg starting with 4 nodes 3+1 can only evolve by adding 4 nodes 3+1, you cannot change the default policy 3+1 to 4+1. So the granularity of the evolution of the cluster is fixed at the beginning.

Cheers
