Actually, distributed+striped+replicated - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Storage/2.0/html/Ad... Ok. Sharding is not the same as striped volumes in gluster. With striping, like you mentioned, you would require more number of nodes to form the striped set in addition to the replica set.( so 6 nodes since you need replica 3 ) Sharding can however work with 3 nodes - so on the replica 3 gluster volume that you create, you can turn on the volume option "features.shard on", to turn on this feature.
