It's far more simple: if you retain the same hostname/ip address on the new machine, you need to make sure the new glusterd has the same UUID of the old dead one (there is a file in /etc/glusterd), configurations are automatically synced back at the first contact with the other active nodes. Instead, if you replace the node with a different node with different hostname / ip: http://community.gluster.org/q/a-replica-node-has-failed-completely-and-must-be-replaced-with-new-empty-hardware-how-do-i-add-the-new-hardware-and-bricks-back-into-the-replica-pair-and-begin-the-healing-process/ -- Giovanni Toraldo - LiberSoft http://www.libersoft.it
