I believe gluster writes 2 entries into the top level of your gluster brick filesystems: -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 36 2012-06-22 15:58 .gl.mount.check drw------- 258 root root 8192 2012-04-16 13:20 .glusterfs You will have to remove these as well as all the other fs info from the volume to re-add the fs as another brick. Or just remake the filesystem - instantaneous with XFS, less so with ext4. hjm On Tuesday, September 18, 2012 11:03:35 AM Lonni J Friedman wrote: > Greetings, > I'm running v3.3.0 on Fedora16-x86_64.
