<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>

are testing for performance. In my current

My 2nd server is configured with 4X6TB (3.5 Inch Drives)

configured with 802.3 Bond (4X1GB) network links. Each
server is configured with write-back on the raid
