As discussed recently, it is way to easy to make destructive changes to a volume,e.g change shard size. This can corrupt the data with no warnings and its all to easy to make a typo or access the wrong volume when doing 3am maintenance ... So I'd like to suggest something like the following: gluster volume lock <volname> Setting this would fail all: - setting changes - add bricks - remove bricks - delete volume gluster volume unlock <volname> would allow all changes to be made. Just a thought, open to alternate suggestions.
