Recently , it was discussed in the mailing lists and dev mentioned that distributed replicated volumes are not officially supported, but some users use them.
Even if not supported, it still should work without issues.If you think not to go this way, you can create a new 3 node cluster which will be fully suppported. Otherwise, if you go towards replicated distributed volumes , you just need to provide another set of 3 bricks and once added you can rebalance in order to distribute the files accross the sets. Here is an old thread that describes it for replica 2 volume types: https://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2011-February/006599.html I guess I have confused you with my last e-mail, but that was not intentionable.
