Can you check of the volume had 'cluster.lookup-optimize' enabled (on)?Most probably it caused your problems .

1 - use 100 GB for the HostedEngine VM, separate storage domain for the other VMs 2 - Replica 3 means that each VM disk will have 3 identical copies ( split into tiny pieces) and usually you don't need more copies.When you decide to add more storage -> you can add 3 more bricks (term for server+mountpoint) , expand the volume and then rebalance (necessary in order to twll gluster about the new storage location and to balance the usage among subvolumes) Best Regards,Strahil Nikolov On Tue, Apr 5, 2022 at 12:18, mohamedrous...@peopleintouch.com wrote: Hello, we are designing a new production cluster, and I have to questsions about GlusterFS please: 1- this quote from the documentation os not clear to me " Creating additional data domains in the same data center as the self-hosted engine storage domain is highly recommended. If you deploy the self-hosted engine in a data center with only one active data storage domain, and that storage domain is corrupted, you will not be able to add new storage domains or remove the corrupted storage domain; you will have to redeploy the self-hosted engine." Does this mean that we should have more than one "Data" domain? or here this paragraph is talking about sharing a single domain for both the hosted-engine and VMs? 2- the documentation mentioned that Replica 1 or Replica 3 are only supported, but is this only for the hosted-engine volume? or also for Data volumes? so the max is only 3? and waht if I wanted to expand capacity later?
