As stated in another thread, we currently have a 3 nodes cluster with sharding

I am migrating that to a new 3.7.11 cluster to hopefully fix the problems with

nodes are nearly full we'd like to expand.

don't forget to update the opversion for the cluster:

    gluster volume set all cluster.op-version 30710

(its not 30711 as there are no new features from 3.7.10 to 3.7.11)



We have 3 nodes with a replica 3. What would be better, go to 5 nodes and use a replica 2 
(so "wasting" one node),
or go to 6 nodes with still a replica 3 ? Seems like having 3 replicas is 
better for safety, but can someone confirm
that whats important for quorum is the number of bricks in a replica set, not 
the number of nodes total ?
Would hate to get into a split brain because we upgraded to an even number of 
node.

Definitely need 3 nodes with replica 3.

You can have a 5 proxmox node cluster with only three nodes being used for gluster.

What sort of network setup do you have? mine is relatively low end. 2*1GB Eth on each node, LACP bonding.
