Hello, I have deployed a gluster configuration of this type: Number of Bricks: 1 x (2 + 1) = 3 2 data + 1 arbiter After deploy, all machines were reporting the correct volume info informations: Volume Name: gvol0 Type: Replicate Status: Started Number of Bricks: 1 x (2 + 1) = 3 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: pc01:/var/lib/gvol0/brick1 Brick2: pc02:/var/lib/gvol0/brick2 Brick3: pcgw:/var/lib/gvol0/brickgw (arbiter) Then, I had to restart gluster service on brick2, after that, only on that machine the volume info was: Volume Name: gvol0 Type: Replicate Status: Started Number of Bricks: 1 x 3 = 3 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: pc01:/var/lib/gvol0/brick1 Brick2: pc02:/var/lib/gvol0/brick2 Brick3: pcgw:/var/lib/gvol0/brickgw others nodes were still reporting the original volume info informations. This thing appears strange to me, since I suppose all the members of a cluster should be consistent on output of informations of a "shared" resource. Btw, later on I had to reboot the arbiter server and again, on that server: Volume Name: gvol0 Type: Replicate Status: Started Number of Bricks: 1 x 3 = 3 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: pc01:/var/lib/gvol0/brick1 Brick2: pc02:/var/lib/gvol0/brick2 Brick3: pcgw:/var/lib/gvol0/brickgw Only one node, the one never rebooted is stating that brick3 is an arbiter, aside this information the arbiter node is working as an arbiter since the data folder contains empty files and is updated with the others. Is this a situation to solve? an issue? Considerations are appreciated.
