Hi Just something to note. I created a stripe volume for testing then deleted it and created a distributed volume, for the second create I had to use force as it thought the first brick was already part of a volume. When I came to write to the distributed volume, all the files went to the first brick. A rebalance fix-layout made it work as expected. glusterfs 3.5.3 Cheers, _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
