Is this even possible? Afaik it involves replace-brick commands (use this on >= 3.3.1). So instead of the add-brick you'd do something like this : - replace-brick gluster00:exp0 gluster02:exp0 You go to sleep for 2 days ;-) - replace-brick gluster01:exp0 gluster02:exp1 You sleep another 2 days, then - add-brick gluster00:exp0 gluster01:exp0 and then start the 2 rebalance steps. regards, Hans Lambermont -- Hans Lambermont | Senior Architect (t) +31407370104 (w) www.shapeways.com
