[Gluster-users] Replicated vs distributed

2010-04-17 Thread Larry Bates 
Bryan,

Replicate means to mirror files to multiple/different volumes
Distribute means to distribute the writing of files across a set of volumes.

To get the best setup you almost always want to use replicate (for fault
tolerance)
and distribute (to make multiple drives appear to the client as a single
volume).

Could someone explain to the new person the difference between replicated and
distributed volumes

Thanks Bryan
