Yes, but the heal will then take three weeks. I have the data at hand, so if can preload it with the trick I described, I would have a full volume in a matter of a few hours instead. > Have you thought for a 'replica 3' volume with a thin arbiter > being in the slow location ? Yes, I have pondered back and fro on this subject. I finally opted for three full replicas because my underlying problems of unreliability (flakey connections, the dynamic public IP address of one of the peers) outweigh my desire for speed and bandwidth conservation. To put it simply, a 2+1 volume would make it easier and faster to store the data, but it would make it harder to access it when one of the peers fails.
