<div dir="ltr">Hi.<br><br>Actually, after posting it I had the brilliant idea of searching the archives a bit further.<br><br>Here is an advice I found from Krishna:<br><br>"In case you have 4 machines each with 4 drives.<br>
<br>
you can replicate each drive of server1 with corresponding drive of<br>
server2 using AFR.<br>
you can replicate each drive of server3 with corresponding drive of<br>
server4 using AFR.<br>
<br>
So you have 8 AFRs.<br>
<br>
You can use distribute (aka DHT) to aggregate the 8 AFRs."<br><br>So basically the idea was to divide all the servers to pairs, then AFR each drive in the pair, and then unify/dht all the AFR's in a single volume.<br>
<br>Is this the only approach, or there are other ones?<br><br>Because the main downside of this approach seems to me, as the need to update all the config files on all the participating servers and clients.<br><br>Regards.<br>

<div dir="rtl"><div dir="ltr">Hi.<br><br>Any idea, what is the best configuration to connect multiple disks per servers?<br>I mean, I have multiple servers with 4 disks per server, and I look to unify all this space to a single volume, with replication of 2.<br>
<br>What would be the best?<br><br>Unify all the disks per single server to a single volume, then AFR with another server, then unify all once again?<br>Or<br>AFR per-disk basis with another server, then unify all AFR's into one volume?<br>
<br>I don't want to use RAID or volume, as I want each server to withstand loss of almost all of it's disks (except the system one of course).<br><br>Regards.<br><br></div></div>
