Hi songxin, >> 1.what is the different between runing "gluster volume remove-brick gv0 replica 1 128.224.162.255:/data/brick/gv1 " and " gluster volume remove-brick gv0 replica 1 128.224.162.255:/data/brick/gv1 force "?what the "force" means when "remove a brick"? "gluster volume remove-brick gv0 replica 1 128.224.162.255:/data/brick/gv1 does not make any sense. you need to give option while doing remove-brick for eg: start|stop|status|commit|force. "gluster volume remove-brick gv0 replica 1 128.224.162.255:/data/brick/gv1 force " means that you are forcefully removing brick from your cluster. hope this make sense to you :) Regards, Gaurav ----- Original Message ----- From: "songxin" <songxin_1980@xxxxxxx> To: "Atin Mukherjee" <amukherj@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "gluster-user" <gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, March 21, 2016 1:36:41 PM Subject: question about remove-brick force Hi, When I run the command "gluster volume remove-brick gv0 replica 1 128.224.162.255:/data/brick/gv1 force" , it reture failed. my question: 1.what is the different between runing "gluster volume remove-brick gv0 replica 1 128.224.162.255:/data/brick/gv1 " and " gluster volume remove-brick gv0 replica 1 128.224.162.255:/data/brick/gv1 force "?what the "force" means when "remove a brick"?
