Hi,

I have a question regarding disk preparation.

I have 4 nodes, each has 24 SSD, i would like to know whats the best practice 
to setup the disks.

The pool will be used as a vmware datastore.

im planning on using each disk as a brick without lvm, pool will be distributed 
replicas with sharding enabled, do you have any comments on this setup ? 
because i dont know if i should use all disks as one big disk with RAID and 
disable sharding, or use each disk as a brick with sharding enabled.


also, Redhat website stated that i have to use LVM, but i couldn't get an 
answer on why i should use LVM or why i should't.

"You should not create Red Hat Storage volume bricks using raw disks. Bricks 
must be created on thin-provisioned Logical Volumes (LVs)"
