In my experience .glusterfs is easily recoverable by going to the brick path (if you have files there) and running stat for each object but through mount point, something like: cd BRICKPATH sudo find . -path ./.glusterfs -prune -o -exec stat 'MUNTPATH/{}' \; for example, if you need to recreate or create another volume - delete .glusterfs and reset brick folder attr, and proceed with below trick export brick_path=/main/brick4/geo0 sudo setfattr -x trusted.glusterfs.volume-id $brick_path sudo setfattr -x trusted.gfid $brick_path sudo rm -rf $brick_path/.glusterfs files go nowhere - and they are everywhere you replicate them with Gluster On Wed, Jan 24, 2018 at 3:44 PM, César E.
