Description b.candler 2012-03-07 14:55:42 UTC 
In the admin guide (section 5.4) at http://download.gluster.com/pub/gluster/glusterfs/3.2/Documentation/AG/html/sect-Administration_Guide--Setting_Volumes-Distributed_Striped.html

The first example for a "distributed striped volume" is this:

# gluster volume create test-volume stripe 4 transport tcp server1:/exp1 server2:/exp2 server3:/exp3 server4:/exp4

However since there are 4 bricks and a stripe width of 4, this is really just a simple "striped volume" as described previously in section 5.3.

Suggest you drop this example and leave just the second example.

Comment 3 shishir gowda 2012-05-29 10:44:22 UTC 
The doc's have been updated as follows:

# gluster volume create test-volume stripe 4 transport tcp server1:/exp1 server2:/exp2 server3:/exp3 server4:/exp4 server5:/exp5 server6:/exp6 server7:/exp7 server8:/exp8
Creation of test-volume has been successful
Please start the volume to access data.
