      Hi,
      

      One of my bricks suffered from complete raid failure, (3
        disks on raid6). I created a new raid, and wanted to bring the
        brick back up in the volume. Did the following 
      1. Removed it with
      gluster volume remove-brick gluster s1:/mnt/raid6 start
      gluster volume remove-brick gluster s1:/mnt/raid6 commit
      

      2. Detached with
      gluster peer detach s1
      

      3. Probed anew:
      gluster peer probe s1
      

      4. Tried to add with
      gluster volume add-brick gluster s1:/mnt/raid6
      

      But last one fails with 
      Stage failed on operation 'Volume Add brick'
      

      I'm using 3.4.2.
      

      Thanks,

    WARNING: I'm not even sure if this is true, or if I changed
    something else, but I give you my experience to try.

    
    I was having trouble adding an additional brick to my replica array,
    and I was getting the same (or a similar) message.  I then tried
    adding the brick from the command line on the machine where the
    brick is located.  All of the sudden I began to get meaningful error
    messages.  As far as I know, the only thing I changed was which
    computer I sshed into, but it made all the difference in the world. 
    The error messages were quite specific, and easy to understand.

    
    I am curious if others have experienced the same thing.
