Creating geo-replication will fail as command "create push-pem" performs the slave verification, which includes checking for a valid slave URL, valid slave volume, and available space on the slave. In such cases if the verification fails, you can use the *force* option which will ignore the failed verification and create a geo-replication session. ~Rahul > > > > > > > > From: M S Vishwanath Bhat < msvbhat@xxxxxxxxx > > Date: Saturday, August 22, 2015 at 10:59 AM > To: Christian Rice < crice@xxxxxxxxxxx > > Cc: " gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx " < gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx > > Subject: Re: geo-replication master is > distributed-replicated, slave is distributed only? > > > > On 21 August 2015 at 23:46, Christian Rice < crice@xxxxxxxxxxx > wrote: > > > > I’d like to have a distributed-replicated master volume, and distributed-only > slave. > > Can this be done?
