Hi, I would say it's quite OK unless you don't shrink the distribute. For example volume with replica 2 distribute 2 would look like: _/test1:/test \test2:/test _/test3:/test \test4:/test if your gluster volume heal test info is empty (eg theres nothing to heal) it should be fairly safe to remove test2:/test and test4:/test with: gluster volume remove-brick test replica 1 test4:/test test2:/test but I would test it first on your gluster version!
