imho, start by defining your needs then design the system to meet them.
The only goal set out below is that you, "want to get as much storage
out of these as possible." This would mean raid0 or 1 brick per disk
with a distribute array (no replication).
Identically sized bricks are best. Often if the disk sizes are mixed,
raid or partitioning are used to create bricks of the same size.

Hi, this is my first attempt at Gluster storage.
Just a quick help me get started question – the bare metal page yields
a “not found” on the web site so…
I have two dell 2950s fully populated with 5 x 300GB 10K disks.
I want to get as much storage out of these as possible.
I have two more dell 2950s each with 4 x 146GB 10K disks.
Should I build one RAID 5 container on the first two servers, load up
CentOS7 and then Gluster on that? using the unused partition of what
is left after loading CentOS?
Or should I be looking at moving physical disks around and putting the
smaller 146 GB disks as RAID 1 in each of the 4 servers for OS and
distributing the 300GB disks amoung all the servers and maybe pick
some more up on Ebay to get all 4 servers identical?
Would appreciate any advice on short notice as I have nothing else to
do today for once and would just as soon at least start off on the
right foot!
