Everything is ok for me as long that: a) operation must be automated (this is what i've asked initially [1]), maybe with a single command. b) during the replace phase, replica count is not decreased but increased. [1] Joe's solution require a distributed-replicated volume. this shouldn't be an issue, modern servers has multiple disk bays, starting with 1 disk per server (replica 3) is fine, If I need to expand i'll add 3 disks more (1 more per server). After this, will be possible to do a replacement like in Joe's solution. The biggest drawback is that this soulution isn't viable for server with just 1 brick and no more disk bays available (ie: a single raid with all disks used as single brick) _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
