I have to replace the existing one with the newer ones. Now, If I try to re-add the "replaced" bricks, is the same like adding directly the new bricks. If I can't add a bricks from a new single server to a replica3, why can I add re-add bricks from an older single server ? That's the same. _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
