Hi,

The existing syntax in the gluster CLI for creating arbiter volumes is `gluster volume create <volname> replica 3 arbiter 1 <list of bricks>` . It means (or at least intended to mean) that out of the 3 bricks, 1 brick is the arbiter. There has been some feedback while implementing arbiter support in glusterd2 for glusterfs-4.0 that we should change this to `replica 2 arbiter 1` , meaning that there are 2 replica (data) bricks and the 3rd one is the arbiter (which only holds meta data).

See [1] for some discussions. What does everyone feel is more user friendly and intuitive?

Thanks,
Ravi
