Hello,

I seem to have hosed my installation while trying to replace a failed brick.  The instructions for replacing the brick with a different host name/IP on the Gluster site are no longer available so I used the instructions from the Redhat Storage class that I attended last week, which assumed the replacement had the same host name.


It seems the working brick (I had two servers with simple replication only) will not release the DNS entry of the failed brick.

Is there any way to simply reset Gluster completely?
The simple way to "reset gluster completely" would be to delete the volume and start over.  Sometimes this is the quickest way, especially if you only have one or two volumes.

If nothing has changed, deleting the volume will not affect the data on the brick.

You can either:
Find and follow the instructions to delete the "markers" that glusterfs puts on the brick, in which case the create process should be the same as any new volume creation.
Otherwise, when you do the "volume create..." step, it will give you an error, something like 'brick already in use'.  You used to be able to override that by adding --force to the command line.  (Have not needed it lately, so don't know if it still works.)

Hope this helps

Just to confirm, if I delete the volume so I can start over, deleting the volume will not delete the data.  Is this correct?  Finally, once the volume is deleted, do I have to do what Joe Julian recommended here? http://joejulian.name/blog/glusterfs-path-or-a-prefix-of-it-is-already-part-of-a-volume/

Thanks for any insights.
