Yeah, this frustrates the heck out of me every time too. As a thought, did you nuke the /brick1/gv0 directory on *both* of the servers? Looking at the cut-n-pasted log below, it seems like you nuked the dir on nfs1, but not on nfs2. And it'd probably really help on our end if the "failed: /brick1/gv0 is already part of a volume" message included the node name as well, just for it to be super clear. ;) + Justin -- GlusterFS - http://www.gluster.org An open source, distributed file system scaling to several petabytes, and handling thousands of clients.
