I can't get the idea. Can you give an example.
let me share some of my setup.1. Volume -> data_fast is consisting 
of:ovirt1:/gluster_bricks/data_fast/data_fast -> 500GB 
NVMeovirt2:/gluster_bricks/data_fast/data_fast -> 500GB 
NVMeovirt3:/gluster_bricks/data_fast/data_fast -> small LV on a slow 
(QLC-based) SATA SSD
All hosted on thin LVM.Of course , for the engine I 
have:ovirt1:/gluster_bricks/engine/engine -> SATA ssd shared between OS and 
brickovirt2:/gluster_bricks/engine/engine -> SATA ssd shared between OS and 
brick
ovirt3:/gluster_bricks/engine/engine -> SATA ssd shared between OS and 4 other 
bricks
Since I have switched from old HDDs to consumer SSD disks - the engine volume 
is not reported by sanlock.service , despite Gluster v52.XX has higher latency.

 Thank you very much Strahil, very helpful. As always. So I would equip the 3rd 
server and alocate one small ( 120 - 240gb) consumer grade ssd for each of the 
gluster volume, and at volume creation, to specify the small ssds as the 3rd 
brick.Do it make sense ?Thank you !

I think 2 small ssds (raid 1 mdadm) can do the job better as ssds have lower 
latencies .You can use them both for OS (minimum needed is 60 GB) and the rest 
will be plenty for an arbiter.
By the way, if you plan using gluster snapshots - use thin LVM for the brick.

Hello Everyone,I need to look into adding some enterprise grade sas disks ( 
both ssd and spinning  ),  and since the prices are not too low,  I would like 
to benefit of replica 3 arbitrated.Therefore,  I intend to buy some smaller 
disks for use them as arbiter brick.My question is, what performance ( 
regarding iops,  througput ) the arbiter disks need to be. Should they be at 
least the same as the real data disks ?Knowing that they only keep metadata, I 
am thinking that will not be so much pressure on the arbiters.Any thoughts?
Thank you !
