Gluster users - Mar 2012 - replicated-striped volume growing question

Hy,

I have the following question:

If I build a replicated-striped volume (one replica and one stripe)
when I want to grow that volume I can grow it adding one brick and its
replica or I have to add the stripe and Its replica also?

Hope you can help me, thanks in advance

AFAIK, the current production glusterfs doesn't support replicated striped
volumes. This is due to be added in 3.3 (now in beta):

Of course, a replicated *distributed* volume exists. The difference is that
a distributed volume puts each file entirely on one disk of the set, whilst
a striped volume puts chunks of each files on each disk.

I don't really understand the question. For a replicated distributed volume
where the data is replicated N times, you have to add N bricks at a time; I
would imagine the same will be true of a replicated striped volume.
