I would just like some clarification on the different options for GSP storage 
volumes.
 
None - this option distributes the files across all servers such that a file 
resides on some server but not necessarily on a specific server.
If you have 4 servers, you can get 4x the volume space.
*as a side question, what is a good way to see what server the file is actually 
on.  Since console access is disabled are there any 
other suggestions?
 
Mirror - every file resides on every server.  if there are four servers and a 
file is copied into the volume each server gets a copy
of that file.  
*does this restrict the maximum size of the volume to the same size as if you 
were using one server?
 
*also which one of these options allows for Automatic File Recovery and Self 
Healing?
 
Thank you.
