Thanks Amar and Mohamed! My question was mainly aiming at things like programmatical limitations. We're already running 2 Gluster-Clusters with 4 nodes each. 3 bricks = 100 TB/node = 400 TB total. So with Gluster 3.x it's 8PB, possibly more with Gluster 4.x. Right? Thank you very much again! Peter B.
