Redhat I believe still recommends to have bricks raided. I haven't checked again lately but when I was looking at RHS(gluster) they recommended I want to say it was 8-12 disks in a raid6. I myself use ZFS disks passed through in JBOD in a raid10, I've also seen some that make each brick a disk or disk pair and let gluster handle the redundancy. It all comes own to what level of protection vs performance you want and the workload I think. > > I'm also curious to know any baseline performances, eg I have a 2 > nodes cluster in "replica" mode, each brick is SSD x2 in RAID1 mode. > For the following workload: > First thing I notice is that without 3 nodes for quorum you run risk of split brain issues. A 3rd node for 3 way replication, or an arbiter node would help with that. I like 3 nodes replication, but that also has effect on network throughput as you are now copying data once more simultaneously. > > 100% random, 30% reads / 70% writes, 4KB block size, single thread > > I observe ~ 220 read IOPS + ~515 write IOPS, 95th percentile read > latency 1.9 ms, write - 1.9 ms. > > Is it OK or not OK?
