Gluster users - Jan 2015 - Understanding bricks

Just a simple question, which I could not find a clear answer to in the 
docs:

Would it be possible to host more than one brick in the same file system?

I'd like to create multiple volumes, which shall finally be hosted on 
the same RAID. I can of course use LVM to partition the RAID to bricks, 
but at least for one storage node, a NAS, I'm not sure, if this is 
actually possible. So just having several bricks in the same file system 
would be a nice option.

Thanks,
  - lars.

You can have multiple bricks from the same file system. If you intend 
using volume snapshots, it would be optimal to have different logical 
volumes and file systems for bricks.
