Hi Strahil, Sorry for the latin reply. I did not catch this response until just now.
For the "What do you mean with one unit ?" I meant making 5 bricks (of equal size of the original 5) within that unit and adding that to the existing gluster volume "Number of Bricks: 1 x (4 + 1) = 5". Those 5 bricks just happen to be individual storage units.
