Comment 3 Amar Tumballi 2011-06-24 01:45:57 UTC

any of the order, like 

gluster volume create <VOL> replica 3 stripe 4 [12BRICKS] 

OR

gluster volume create <VOL> stripe 4 replica 3 [12BRICKS]


would create same type of volume (RAID01 type, ie, replicate is subvolume of stripe, which can be subvolume of distribute).

Comment 4 Raghavendra Bhat 2011-09-16 07:12:56 UTC

Striped replicate volumes can be created now with glusterfs-3.3 releases. Checked with glusterfs-3.3.0qa9. 


gluster volume create <volname> stripe <cnt> replica <cmt> "bricks" will create striped replicate volume. Even if the stripe and replica are swapped, then also striped replicate volume with appropriate counts are created.
