Re: [Gluster-devel] [PATCH] Enable replica 1 mirror creation for mirrored volumes

[Anand Avati]

Joe,

  Can you shed some more light on the use case? What purpose is the replicate translator serving without the second server? In what way is this more beneficial than loading the replicate translator only when the second server is introduced to the system?

This patch to the cli enables a very simple replica 1 mirror creation (similar to the "missing" attribute for mdadm RAID1 creation).

It will likely need additional supporting work in add-brick so that incomplete mirrors are assembled correctly for distributed-replicated cases.

Building/Assembling an incomplete mirror is an important capability needed for a number of use cases.
