If you replicate pairs of servers, how come you're still using RAID 6?
This is actually a very good question. So I guess their are 3 ways of
doing this.
1) use JBOD and put a filesystem on each of the 16 drives and mount them
on 16 points. Howeve
Thanks for your response, Nathan.
3. Use Gluster for redundancy instead of RAID. It would be nice if I can

Hi.
I wanted to ask - how stable GlusterFS is for production?

people announcing rollback to other solution.
This only a question we asked ourselves infrastructure planning - not an
intention to show any disrespect to develo
