<div>In GlusterFS 3.4.3 server,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When I create a volume with</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> gluster volume create NEW-VOLNAME stripe COUNT NEW-BRICK-LIST...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>and store some files, the volume consumes 1.5 times space of actual data stored, regardless of the number of stripes.</div>
<div>e.g. If I create 1GB file in the volume with</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> dd if=/dev/urandom of=random1gb bs=1M count=1000</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It consumes 1.5GB of total disk space of the bricks. "ls -alhs", "du -hs", and "df -h" all indicate the same fact - 1.5GB of space used for an 1GB file. Inspecting each brick and summing up the usage also shows the same result.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Interestingly, this doesn't happen with the newer version, GlusterFS 3.5 server. i.e. 1GB file uses 1GB of total brick space - normal.</div>
<div>It's good that it is fixed in 3.5, but I cannot use 3.5 right now due to another issue.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is this an expected behavior? Or do I have a wrong option? (I left everything default)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
