Usually it is best practice to have the cluster expanded by a multiple of '3' because the gluster volume is of type 'replica 3' or 'replica 3 arbiter 1'. Such volumes can only be expanded by 3 bricks and the best practice is to have one node per brick. Yet, the linux world gives freedom , so yo

Apologies Strahill, I don’t think my question was very clear - my fault. In all the documentation on HCI that I’ve read, it clearly states the the 3 node HCI model can only be expanded in multiples of 3 nodes, i.e. 3, 6, 9, 12. I don’t know if I missed a basic explanation somewhere but is there
