[ovirt-users] Re: Replica Question

Hello, More questions on this -- since I have 5 servers . Could the following work ? Each server has (1) 3TB RAID 6 partition that I want to use for contiguous storage. Mountpoint for RAID 6 partition (3TB) /brick Server A: VOL1 - Brick 1 directory /brick/brick1 (VOL1 Data brick) Server B: VOL1 - Brick 2 + VOL2 - Brick 3 directory /brick/brick2 (VOL1 Data brick) /brick/brick3 (VOL2 Arbitrator brick) Server C: VOL1 - Brick 3 directory /brick/brick3 (VOL1 Data brick) Server D: VOL2 - Brick 1 directory /brick/brick1 (VOL2 Data brick) Server E VOL2 - Brick 2 directory /brick/brick2 (VOL2 Data brick) Questions about this configuration 1. Is it safe to use a mount point 2 times ? https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_gluster_storage/3.3... says "Ensure that no more than one brick is created from a single mount." In my example I have VOL1 and VOL2 sharing the mountpoint /brick on Server B 2. Could I start a standard replica3 (VOL1) with 3 data bricks and add 2 additional data bricks plus 1 arbitrator brick (VOL2) to create a distributed-replicate cluster providing ~6TB of contiguous storage ? . By contiguous storage I mean that df -h would show ~6 TB disk space. Thank You For Your Help !!
