Gluster users - Apr 2017 - supermicro 60/90 bay servers

Hi

We've been looking at supermicro 60 and 90 bay servers. Are anyone else
using these models (or similar density) for gluster?
Specifically I'd like to setup a distributed disperse volume with 8 of
these servers.

Any insight, does and donts or best practice guidelines would be
appreciated :)

kind regards
Ingard

What is your use case? Disperse is good for archive workloads, big files.
I suggest you to buy 10 servers and use 8+2 EC configuration. This way you can
handle two node failures. We are using 28 disk servers but our next
cluster will use 68 disk servers.
