So in other words, for Gluster, I should configure the storage as 2 individual LUNs, and then create Replicated Volumes for High Availability.<br><br>That would mean sparing 50% of the space for replicated files, more like a mirror, right?<br>
<br>Also, how fast is Gluster at Listing files in large directories, say with 2000 - 4000 files, each?<br>The Technical FAQ answers this question, but doesn't provide any numbers.<br><br>Regards,<br><br><br>Indivar Nair<br>

I don't think gluster recognizes storage failures. However, you can<br>
have your own heartbeat that would stop gluster process in case there<br>
are storage array or frame falures.<br>
