Re: How to replace a dead brick? (3.6.5)

So... this kinda applies to me too and I want to get some clarification: I have the following setup

# gluster volume info

Volume Name: gv0
Type: Replicate
Volume ID: fc50d049-cebe-4a3f-82a6-748847226099
Status: Started
Number of Bricks: 1 x 3 = 3
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: eapps-gluster01:/export/sdb1/gv0
Brick2: eapps-gluster02:/export/sdb1/gv0
Brick3: eapps-gluster03:/export/sdb1/gv0
Options Reconfigured:
diagnostics.count-fop-hits: on
diagnostics.latency-measurement: on
nfs.drc: off

eapps-gluster03 had a hard drive failure so I replaced it, formatted the drive and now need gluster to be happy again. Gluster put a .glusterfs folder in /export/sdb1/gv0 but nothing else has shown up and the brick is offline. I read the docs on replacing a brick but seem to be missing something and would appreciate some help. Thanks!

On 3.7.4, all you need to do is execute "gluster volume replace-brick <volname> commit force" and rest will be taken care by afr. We are in the process of coming up with new commands like "gluster volume reset-brick <volname> start/commit" for wiping/re-formatting of the disk. So wait just a little longer :-).

I documented this on my blog at https://joejulian.name/blog/replacing-a-brick-on-glusterfs-340/ which is still accurate for the latest version.

The bug report I filed for this was closed without resolution. I assume there's no plans for ever making this easy for administrators.

Yes, its the sort of workaround one can never remember in an emergency, you'd have to google it up ...

In the case I was working with, probably easier and quicker to do a remove-brick/add-brick.

thanks,
