If a disk fails (aka node fails) assuming no RAID, once the disk gets replaced, the node will rebuild? Is that what will happen or am I over simplifying? On 2018-01-26 09:02, Yaniv Kaul wrote: On Fri, Jan 26, 2018 at 4:58 PM, wrote: Yaniv, You bring up a valid point. I asked about RAID sin

Yaniv, You bring up a valid point. I asked about RAID since I was concerned about drive failures & performance. Since Gluster will handle data replication, using HBA seems like a better choice? From Yaniv: I think there are two interesting questions here: 1. Why would you want RAID? Your d

I really don't see much need of using hardware raid if you have a SSD-only environment. You will get little benefit from hardware cache memory and to guarantee the writes you may having the filesystem doing always sync operations, similar to what ZFS does. You just need to use a HBA to controll
