<h1>Managing Bricks</h1>
Brick is the basic unit of storage, represented by an export directory
on a server in the storage cluster. You can expand, shrink, and migrate
volume of you cluster, as required, by adding new bricks, removing
bricks, and migrating bricks.
<p><b>Note:</b> You need to add at least one brick to a distributed volume, multiples of two bricks to replicated volumes, multiples of four bricks to striped volumes when expanding your storage space.</p>
