            <div>In order to have a healthy volume, you need to have
              bricks as factors of 4. Which means if you have 4 bricks
              and want to extend your setup with additional brick, then
              you will need 4 other bricks in your cluster, for your
              setup.<br>
              <br>
            </div>
            I don't recommend to host more than one brick on a host as
            it would cause data loss on failure of the node, if your
            master and redundant copy is stored on the same host. <br>

    Yes  I understand. But You can understand and I hope that the
    gluster team can understand, that if I want to expand my
    computational power and storage I can't buy four node In one time,
    it's to heavy.<br>
    Another example, I have a big cluster with 14 node stripe 7. I can't
    by 14 other nodes to expand it in one time. It's a big limitation in
    the flexible usage of glusterfs.<br>
    <br>
    Does that mean that glusterfs is only dedicated to small cluster ?<br>
    <br>
    Sincerely.<br>
