[Gluster-users] Special Config or not Possible (5 bricks)
Hi, i have 5 DIsks (3 3 TB, 2 3 TB) Actual running Raid 5 on the 3 3 TB Disks and Raid 1 on the 3 TB DIsks (dont diskuss about Raid 5 .. i know it :) Plan was to use gluster with sharding enabled replica 3 on all 5 disks so parts of the File are at minimum of 3 disks (localy make 5 bricks ...) i have tried it with loop files (5 pieces) but this configuration seems to not work. I can enable 4 devices but not the 5th.(in my Test only replica count 2 ... final plan is replica 3 ...) Config: root at ICE-NAS:~# gluster volume info vol1 Volume Name: vol1 Type: Distributed-Replicate Volume ID: 16f67225-4949-4510-85c2-0486aa089ec3 Status: Started Number of Bricks: 2 x 2 = 4 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: ice-nas:/gltest/br1/ds Brick2: ice-nas:/gltest/br2/ds Brick3: ice-nas:/gltest/br3/ds Brick4: ice-nas:/gltest/br4/ds Options Reconfigured: features.shard-block-size: 128MB features.shard: on transport.address-family: inet performance.readdir-ahead: on nfs.disable: on Command: root at ICE-NAS:~# gluster volume add-brick vol1 icenas:/gltest/br5/ds volume add-brick: failed: Incorrect number of bricks supplied 1 with count 2 When i understand the Manual right i can also add a single Brick with sharding enabled !? Where is my mistake ... Greets from Germany Holger
