If you create a volume with only one brick, and then add one more brick to the volume then, the volume will be of distribute type and not replicate. If replica feature is neede , then a replicate volume itself should be created and to create replicate volume minimum 2 bricks are needed. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raghavendra G" <raghavendra at gluster.com> To: "raveenpl" <raveenpl at gmail.com> Cc: gluster-users at gluster.org Sent: Wednesday, December 1, 2010 12:52:03 PM Subject: Re: GlusterFS replica question Yes, it is possible in 3.1.x without downtime. ----- Original Message ----- From: "raveenpl" <raveenpl at gmail.com> To: gluster-users at gluster.org Sent: Sunday, November 28, 2010 2:54:13 AM Subject: GlusterFS replica question Hi, For small lab environment I want to use GlusterFS with only ONE node. After some time I would like to add the second node as the redundant node (replica). Is it possible in GlusterFS 3.1 without downtime?
