    <p>That was my impression too, but unfortunately someone told in
      this mail list recently that Gluster isn't that clever to work
      without RAID Controllers and when disks fail it imposes some
      difficulties for replacement. Perhaps someone with more knowledge
      could clarify this point which certainly is beneficial to people.</p>
