<p>Hi list.</p>
<p>I've searched around and I've found that nobody seems to have asked this question before. Is it 100% necessary to have Gluster bricks that are formatted with XFS, and is it also 100% necessary that it needs to be its own partition and/or drive?<br /><br />If it does, I think there needs to be something mentioned about this at <a href="http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Getting_started_setup_baremetal">http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Getting_started_setup_baremetal</a>. If not, I wonder at why there's such an insistence on doing so at <a href="http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Getting_started_configure">http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Getting_started_configure</a> and at <a href="http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Getting_started_rrqsg">http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Getting_started_rrqsg</a>. <br /><br />Also, if this is indeed 100% necessary, then I have to go back and reinstall Ubuntu on these servers. Again.</p>
