Gluster users - Dec 2014 - # of replica != number pf bricks?

Hi,

what happens if the number of replica in a volume is not equal to the number 
of bricks?

Sample: I have a volume with 4 bricks (on four peers) and only what to have 
two replicats of every file. Is that possible?

Mit freundlichen Gr??en,

Michael Schwartzkopff

Yes it's totally possible. If you are going to use replica 2, you will need
an even number of bricks in your volume, for instance 2, 4 6, 8, etc.
Gluster will set the volume as a distributed replicated volume.
