Where did you read 2k IOPS?

I've configured 6 bricks as distributed-replicated with replica 2, expecting that all active bricks would be usable so long as a quorum of at least 4 live bricks is maintained. However, I have just found http://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/Administrator%20Guide/Split%20brain%20and%20ways%20to%20deal%20with%20it/ Which states that "In a replica 2 volume...

Hi, I have 4 nodes, so a quorum would be 3 of 4. The Q is I suppose why does the documentation give this command as an example without qualifying it? SO I am running the wrong command?

When you shutdown a node, everything obviously gets killed but the client does not get notified

As long as the VM isn't hosted on one of the two Gluster nodes, that's perfectly fine. One of my smaller clusters uses the same setup. As for your other questions, as long as it supports Unix file permissions, Gluster doesn't care what filesystem you use. Mix & match as you wish. Just try to keep matching Gluster versions across your nodes. On 29 June 2017 at 16:10, mabi

Hello, I have a replica 2 GlusterFS 3.8.11 cluster on 2 Debian 8 physical servers using ZFS as filesystem. Now in order to avoid a split-brain situation I would like to add a third node as arbiter. Regarding the arbiter node I have a few questions: - can the arbiter node be a virtual machine? (I am planning to use Xen as hypervisor) - can I use ext4 as file system on my arbiter? or does it need
