Yes, this is what I do, since otherwise I get the famous "already part of a volume " error. After extensive googling I found that the following needs to be done to clean up any past gluster traces from a brick: setfattr -x trusted.glusterfs.volume-id <brick-path> setfattr -x trusted.gfid <brick-path> rm -r <brick-path>/.glusterfs Feel free to tell me otherwise, I will take all help I can get ;-) -----Original Message----- From: Vijay Bellur [mailto:vbellur@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, October 23, 2015 2:05 PM To: Mayzel, Eugene; gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: building bricks in AWS off an EBS snapshot On Tuesday 20 October 2015 01:41 AM, Mayzel, Eugene wrote: > Hello, > > If anyone could help me with a strange issue I am experiencing: > > I run an EC2 stack, say v1, that has a gluster with three one brick > nodes in the replication mode. > > I make an ebs volume level snapshot of one of the bricks (not the > gluster level snapshot) > > Now I want to spin a new EC2 stack, v2, using that single snapshot > from > v1 to build all three bricks in v2. > > Ebs volumes are successfully built, and can see that all data is > there, on all three bricks, I clean the bricks using the setfattr and > rem ./glusterfs routine, > Are you referring to <brick-path>/.glusterfs here? If yes, any reason why that is being cleaned up? Regards, Vijay ----- No virus found in this message.
