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.
