I want to have two or more servers each serving out 40TB of disk space (80TB+ of total space). And i am wondering the best way to configure this amount of disk. Is it possible to have multiple volumes mounted on single gluster server, but for the client to see the volumes as one mount point? I couldn't find an answer in the documentation. Even with XFS, i am worried about having a single 40TB volume. So i was thinking either 2 or 4 volumes to combine together to get to 40TB. Thanks in advance, Thomas Wakefield Systems Administrator COLA/IGES twake at cola.iges.org
