Detaching the arbiter is pointless... Quota is an extended file attribute, and thus disabling and reenabling quota on a volume with millions of files will take a lot of time and lots of IOPS. I would leave it as a last resort. Also, it was mentioned in the list about the following script that might help you: https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/blob/devel/extras/quota/quota_fsck.py You can take a look in the mailing list for usage and more details.

Do you actually remember the exact command you ran in order to remove the brick? I was thinking this should be it: > gluster volume remove-brick <VOLNAME> <BRICK> force > but should I use "force" or "start"? Memory does not serve me well (there are 28 disks, not 26!), but bash history does :) # gluster volume remove-brick BigVol replica 2 str957-biostq:/srv/arbiters/{00..27}/BigVol force # gluster peer detach str957-biostq # gluster peer probe str957-biostq # gluster volume add-brick BigVol replica 3 arbiter 1 str957-biostq:/srv/arbiters/{00..27}/BigVol You obviously have to wait for remove-brick to complete before detaching arbiter. >> IIRC it took about 3 days, but the arbiters are on a VM (8CPU, 8GB RAM) >> that uses an iSCSI disk.

Less than 8GB RAM is asking for troubles (in my case). -- Diego Zuccato DIFA - Dip. di Fisica e Astronomia Servizi Informatici Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna V.le Berti-Pichat 6/2 - 40127 Bologna - Italy tel.: +39 051 20 95786 ________ Community Meeting Calendar: Schedule - Every 2nd and 4th Tuesday at 14:30 IST / 09:00 UTC Bridge: https://bluejeans.com/441850968 Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users ________ Community Meeting Calendar: Schedule - Every 2nd and 4th Tuesday at 14:30 IST / 09:00 UTC Bridge: https://bluejeans.com/441850968 Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
