Is this feasible or should I just set the web server as a peer and get Server B to be the glusterfs server?</div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;"><br></div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;">Also, as my space requirements grow, before I add another node, I can increase the existing disk space of Server B. When disk space is added, I can either resize the existing partition to use the free space, or create a new partition for the free space. I think it’s probably easier to create a new partition for the free space and then add it as another brick to glusterfs. Is this a good idea?</div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;"><br></div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;">Thanks!</div><br><div id="bloop_sign_1409758135165765120" class="bloop_sign"><div style="font-family:helvetica,arial;font-size:13px">-- <br>Eric Boo<br><br></div></div></body></html>
