Hi, Say there are two systems with local disk storage to be converted to Gluster, currently both with the same data, mirrored through rsync. Would it work to: 1. Reformat a partition on one disk, and then create a Gluster volume of it that's neither distributed nor replicated. 2. Mount that partition through Gluster/fuse. 3. Rsync the data from remaining disk back through the new Gluster mount. 4. Reformat the partion on the second disk, add it to the Gluster volume as as a replication mirror. 5. Trigger "healing" of the replication, or ? Obviously this whole thing could be done if by copying all data across to another system, wiping the original data on both systems, and setting up a replicated Gluster volume from the beginning. But the method here, if it could work, wouldn't require a third system (or spare partition large enough on one of the two systems), and would also have a shorter period where the data just wasn't available - you'd have to freeze the data for the first copy into Gluster, but after that you might be able to have it be live again, even while the system being mirrored to is catching up. So would something like this method work? Thanks, Whit
