Hi all. I have been looking around the web but did not find a satisfying answer. Is it possible to change a volume type from distributed to distributed+replica with gluster 3.1.2? An online way at least? The manpage suggests that I can do: $ gluster volume add-brick <VOLNAME> [(replica <COUNT>)|(stripe <COUNT>)] <NEW-BRICK> ... I tried to add additional bricks to an existing distribute-type volume by: gluster volume add-brick testvol replica 2 <newbrick> This failed. I have 3 bricks in a distribute volume and would like to add additional 3 bricks to have it distribute+replicate. I can do it offline by (something like): - stop the volume - delete it - recreate it with addtional replicate bricks. I guess i need to take care that the data from the bricks is somehow synched to just one or so... Last small question: If I "gluster remove-brick" one brick, does its data get migrated to the other bricks? This is the case with "replace-brick". Thanks for your time and thoughts, udo. -- :: udo waechter - root at zoide.net :: N 52?16'30.5" E 8?3'10.1" :: genuine input for your ears: http://auriculabovinari.de :: your eyes: http://ezag.zoide.net :: your brain: http://zoide.net
