Hi, In the last few releases, we have changed replace-brick command such that it can be called only with "commit force" option. When invoked, this is what happens to the volume: a. distribute only volume: the given brick is replaced with a empty brick with 100% probability of data loss. b. distribute-replicate: the given brick is replaced with a empty brick and self heal is triggered. If admin is wise enough to monitor self heal status before another replace-brick command, data is safe. c. distribute-disperse: same as above in distribute-replicate My proposal is to fully deprecate replace-brick command for "distribute only" volumes. It should print out a error "The right way to replace brick for distribute only volume is to add brick, wait for rebalance to complete and remove brick" and return a "-1". Thoughts? Thanks, Raghavendra Talur _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
