Gluster users - Aug 2011 - Stripe+replicate

Hello,
is this ( http://gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2011-July/008223.html )
true regarding 3.3.0 beta or should check out GIT?

Also while it is possible to manually create in client volfile will some more
complex setups like striped+replicated+distributed
setups ( like for example stripe on 6 (or more) nodes each stripe having 3
replicas and distributed on 12 servers) be supported or
better stay away from something like that?

What's the suggested way to store large ~500 Gb files in reliable way so it
doesn't bring the cluster down if a replica fails and
has to be resynced.


thx in advance
rr

This feature is not in 3.3.0beta. You have to checkout the GIT head (master
branch).

Try not to come up with manual configuration, as it would be hard to support
that in long run. In 3.3.0 release, it should be possible to have
distribute-stripe-replica too. But for your setup, it will be requiring lot
of bricks (as per your description, you would need 12 x 6 x 3 = 216 bricks).
