Hi Everyone,

We are evaluating Gluster as the filesystem for a large scale web application 
where users upload many images. I wanted to see what are the limitations of 
Gluster as far as number of files/directories and more importantly what are 
some best practices? 

We are thinking of using distributed + replicated mode with 3 copies of each 
file. Is that the best approach? 

In addition, how should we store the files, can we have one huge flat namespace 
(i.e. UUIDs for names) or should we have a hierarchical directory structure 
just like a regular filesystem to distribute the files into many 
sub-directories?

Thanks,

Drew
