Yes for 1 and 2.

Well...what I'm try to check is that :

        One node if close to full (for example on node2 there only 5 Go
        free, the other node are 120Go free).

        Other node is totaly free

        On the node2 I'm going to write a 7Go file (one file). And because
        gluster starting write on node2 (where the are just 5Go) and
        gluster don't split the file in two (or more) he going to full
        node2 and returning a error.

Regards.
