>> I just want to know what is the difference in the following scenario: 1. remove-brick without the force option 2. remove-brick with the force option remove-brick without force option will perform task based on your option, for eg. remove-brick start option will start migration of file from given remove-brick to other available bricks in the cluster. you can check status of this remove-brick task by issuing remove-brick status command. But remove-brick with force option will just forcefully remove brick from the cluster. It will result in data loss in case of distributed volume, because it will not migrate file from given remove-brick to other available bricks in the cluster. In case of replicate volume you might not have problem by doing remove-brick force because later on after adding brick you can issue heal command and migrate file from first replica set to this newly added brick.

I have one replica 2 volume in which two brick are available. 2. in such permutation and combination I got the UUID of peers mismatch. 3. Because of UUID mismatch when I tried to remove brick on the second board I am getting the Incorrect Brick failure. Now, I have the question if I am using the remove-brick command with the 'force' option it means it should remove the brick in any situation either the brick is available or its UUID is mismatch. I just want to know what is the difference in the following scenario: 1. remove-brick without the force option 2. remove-brick with the force option Regards Abhishek _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
