One feature I would like to see in 4.0 is to be able to have a volume started with only ONE brick up and running, at least as a configurable option if not a default. This was possible in 3.5, perhaps more by mistake than design, but it disappeared in 3.6 and it is a major issue if I want to run a second brick as standby only. Right now I can do it in 3.7.4, but if I reboot the single brick I have to stop and start again the volume before I can mount it, which is the workaround I am using.
