Hi There, I'm currently testing Gluster for possible production use. I haven't been able to find the answer to this question in the forum arch or in the public docs. It's possible that I don't know which keywords to search for. Here's the question (more details below): let's say that one of my bricks "fails" -- *not* a whole node failure but a single brick failure within the node. How do I replace a single brick on a node and force a sync from one of the replicas? I have two nodes with 5 bricks each: gluster> volume info test-a Volume Name: test-a Type: Distributed-Replicate Volume ID: e8957773-dd36-44ae-b80a-01e22c78a8b4 Status: Started Number of Bricks: 5 x 2 = 10 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: 10.250.4.63:/localmnt/g1lv2 Brick2: 10.250.4.65:/localmnt/g2lv2 Brick3: 10.250.4.63:/localmnt/g1lv3 Brick4: 10.250.4.65:/localmnt/g2lv3 Brick5: 10.250.4.63:/localmnt/g1lv4 Brick6: 10.250.4.65:/localmnt/g2lv4 Brick7: 10.250.4.63:/localmnt/g1lv5 Brick8: 10.250.4.65:/localmnt/g2lv5 Brick9: 10.250.4.63:/localmnt/g1lv1 Brick10: 10.250.4.65:/localmnt/g2lv1 I formatted 10.250.4.65:/localmnt/g2lv5 (to simulate a "failure"). What is the next step? I have tried various combinations of removing and re-adding the brick, replacing the brick, etc. I read in a previous message to this list that replace-brick was for planned changes which makes sense, so that's probably not my next step.
