I have been wondering about this condition as well. I did discover this link to an older Gluster 3.4 work around but haven't tried it and not sure if it will still work but the info might be helpful.

Moya Sent: Tuesday, August 02, 2016 10:48 AM To: gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Failed file system Hi, we have a 2 node replica setup on 1 of the nodes the file system that had the brick on it failed, not the OS can we re create a file system and mount the bricks on the same mount point what will happen, will the data from the other node sync over, or will the failed node wipe out the data on the other mode? what would be the correct process? Thanks in advance for any help _______________________________________________ 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
