I'm in the HW raid camp.  Mostly because gluster is not block level,

In my case a rebuild/resync can take weeks because of how many
files/directories I have in my cluster.

With hardware RAID I can just replace the disk and a rebuild happens
automatically and very quickly.

We use raw disks with our setup. Gluster takes care of the replication
part, so RAID would be useless for us. Performance wise, you are
better off just adding a new brick and let gluster do the rest.

Hi,

I know, that there is no general answer to this question :)

Is it better to use HW Raid or LVM as gluster backend or raw disks?

Regards

Uwe
