Hi there. I am deploying a glusterfs 2-node server, just for fun! So in each server, I have: 2x - 500G - Operational System 2x - 2TB 1x - 1TB I formatted the 2x 2TB and the 1x 1TB with XFS and mounted it in this order: /dev/sdc -> /disk1 -----> 2TB /dev/sdd -> /disk2 -----> 2TB /dev/sde -> /disk3 -----> 1TB And the create a gluster vol with this command: gluster vol create VMS replica 2 gluster1:/disco1/vms1 gluster1:/disco2/vms2 gluster1:/disco3/vms3 gluster2:/disco1/vms1 gluster2:/disco2/vms2 gluster2:/disco3/vms3 force And mounted into /vms like this: gluster1:VMS /vms glusterfs defaults,_netdev,x-systemd.automount,backupvolfile-server=gluster2 0 0 Later on, I add more 3 HDD, like: mkfs.xfs /dev/sdf mkfs.xfs /dev/sdg mkfs.xfs /dev/sdh mount /dev/sdf /disk4 mount /dev/sdg /disk5 mount /dev/sdh /disk6 And than, I add the bricks: gluster vol add-brick VMS replica 2 gluster1:/disco4/vms4 gluster1:/disco4/vms5 gluster1:/disco5/vms5 gluster2:/disco4/vms4 gluster2:/disco4/vms5 gluster2:/disco5/vms5 force The /vms mounted grow up normally. So my question: is there anything dangerous to do this way? Any better alternative will be welcome.
