No takers on this one?


Hi John,

If you either replace a brick of a replica or increase the replica count by adding another brick, you will need to perform `gluster volume heal <volname> full` to sync the data into the new/replaced brick. If you are running glusterfs 3.6 or newer. there is a bug (underfix ) in 'heal <volname> full` due to which heal won't be triggered in some scenarios, in which case you can trigger lookups from the mount (find /mount-poin |xargs stat). Lookups would also trigger heals.

You can then remove the replaced brick if there are no more pending heals.

HTH,
Ravi

Until last weekend we had a simple 1x2 replicated volume, consisting of a single brick on each peer. After a drive failure screwed the brick on one peer we decided to create a new peer and swap the bricks. Running "gluster volume replace-brick gluster-rhev dead_peer:/gluster_brick_1 new_peer:/gluster_brick_1 commit force".

After trying for some time and not wishing to rely on a single peer we added kari as an additional replica with "gluster volume add-brick gluster-rhev replica 3 new_peer:/gluster_brick_1 force".

Can we now *safely* remove the dead brick and revert back to replica 2?

regards,
John
