Thanks wk, Jim and Shyam for the feedback. Let us go with `replica 2
arbiter 1` in that case.
@Shyam, There are no plans to make arbiter count more than 1, but I
think it is better to have it stated explicitly. If we are not going
with a new volume type but say `replica 2 arbiter` and give 3 brick
paths, it can be confusing, so sticking to `replica 2 arbiter 1 for now.

Ravi

Hi,
The existing syntax in the gluster CLI for creating arbiter volumes is
`gluster volume create <volname> replica 3 arbiter 1 <list of bricks>`
. It means (or at least intended to mean) that out of the 3 bricks, 1
brick is the arbiter.
There has been some feedback while implementing arbiter support in
glusterd2 for glusterfs-4.0 that we should change this to `replica 2
arbiter 1` , meaning that there are 2 replica (data) bricks and the
3rd one is the arbiter (which only holds meta data).
See [1] for some discussions. What does everyone feel is more user
friendly and intuitive?
Thanks,
Ravi
