So in most of the documentation I read from both redhat and gluster.org it seems to reference using RAID on the servers for the bricks. This is a nice failsafe but obviously has reduced capacity repurcussions as you continue to scale with nodes and bricks.
With Gluster 3.7+ is it still recommended to use hardware RAID for the underlying disks of the bricks or especially in the case of Replica-3 would it be better to have individual drives as bricks? In the scenario of many servers and bricks lets say 12 servers with 12 drives each that would yield a scenario where 3 servers would have a copy of the data on each brick and assuming a multi rack layout would lead to a fairly distributed fault domain. Am I missing something here? I can see hardware raid for smaller implementations of a few servers but it seems counterproductive for larger distributed-replicated setups thanks
