Best practices?
Suppose I start building nodes with (say) 24 drives each in them.
Would the standard/recommended approach be to make each drive its own
filesystem, and export 24 separate bricks, server1:/data1 ..
server1:/data24 ? Making a distributed replicated volume between this and
another server would then have to list all 48 drives individually.
At the other extreme, I could put all 24 drives into some
