I am adding a physical disk of 8GB for glusterfs storage physical drive-xvdf, partition-xvdf1
[root@ip-10-xx-x-xx replicated1]# lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
xvda 202:0 0 8G 0 disk
└─xvda1 202:1 0 8G 0 part /
xvdf 202:80 0 8G 0 disk
└─xvdf1 202:81 0 8G 0 part /data/brick1
Install xfs and format the partition
mkfs.xfs -i size=512 /dev/sdf1
Now,mount the directory data/brick1 to the newly created partition
echo "/dev/sdf1 /data/brick1 xfs defaults 1 2" >> /etc/fstab
mount -a && mount
[root@ip-10-xx-x-xx replicated1]# gluster volume status test-volume detail
Status of volume: rep-volume

There is also another option such as gluster volume status test-volume mem. My question is what is my brick size here ?
Also, Can i have multiple bricks in a single partition?

You could for testing purposes but usually there is a 1:1 mapping between bricks and their mount points.
