Gluster users - Aug 2017 - Brick count limit in a volume

An upstream bug would be ideal as github issue is mainly used for
enhancements. In the mean time, could you point to the exact failure shown
at the command line and the log entry from cli.log?

Can you also please provide more detail on why those many bricks are needed
in a single volume?

Thanks,

This is the command line output:
Total brick list is larger than a request. Can take (brick_count 4444)
Usage: volume create <NEW-VOLNAME> [stripe <COUNT>] [replica
<COUNT>] ....

I am testing if a big single volume will work for us. Now I am
continuing testing with three volumes each 13PB...
