>Please clarify what are the disk groups that you are referring to? Either Raid5/6 or Raid10 with a HW controller(s). >Regarding your statement "In JBOD mode, Red Hat support only 'replica 3' >volumes." does this also mean "replica 3" variants ex. >"distributed-replicate" Nope, As far as I know - only when you have 3 copies of the data ('replica 3' only).
