Hi Frank, Thanks for your answer. On the ZFS side I've got everything pretty much sorted out (which RAIDZ to use, ZIL or not, compression, etc). To answer your questions I will start small with only two nodes in replicated mode and add more nodes as soon as needed using distributed-replicated

Hi, I read your mails but I'm not sure if I fully understand your planned setup. How many Gluster-Nodes have you planned? How fast will be your interconnects between them? I think at first you should test one node itself with all possible options that ZFS has to offer (like compression or even
