OK, great. So basically just install the gluster server on the new node(s), do a peer probe to add them to the cluster, and then gluster volume create palantir replica 3 arbiter 1 [saruman brick] [gandalf brick] [arbiter 1] [azathoth brick] [yog-sothoth brick] [arbiter 2] [cthulhu brick] [mordiggian brick] [arbiter 3] Or is there more to it than that? -- Dave Sherohman _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
