Personally I also found this confusing when I setup my cluster a while back. I ended up creating multiple data volumes. One for each drive. You could probably software raid the drives first and present it to the deployment wizard as one block device. I’m not sure if deployment wizard will combine multiple physical drives into one volume for you. Hopefully someone else can shed more light on this. 

With your host specs it sounds like you should be fine to use dedupe/compression

I am about to setup a new hyperconverged setup with the following

3 host setup
2 x nvme 240gb hd for OS on each host (raid)
3 x nvme 7 tb hd for vm storage on each host (no raid card)
500gb RAM per each host

I am confused during the gluster setup portion using the web ui setup wizard.   When asked for the LV size do I input the maximum size of the hard drive on a single host or do I combine the total capacity of the matching hard drives on all 3 host?  Example that I would be putting in is hard drive: /dev/nvme1p1 capacity 7tb or should it be 21tb (combined capacity of the matching single HD on the other host).  Or is there a better method you recommend?  And since I am using nvme hard drive would you recommend using dedup and compression or no?

Thanks
