Hello all. What is the proper procedure to reduce a "replica 3 arbiter 1" volume? The procedure I've found is: 1) # gluster volume remove-brick VOLNAME BRICK start (repeat for each brick to be removed, but being a r3a1 should I remove both bricks and the arbiter in a single command or multiple ones?) 2) # gluster volume remove-brick VOLNAME BRICK status (to monitor migration) 3) # gluster volume remove-brick VOLNAME BRICK commit (to finalize the removal) 4) umount and reformat the freed (now unused) bricks Is this safe? And once the bricks are removed I'll have to distribute arbiters across the current two data servers and a new one (currently I'm using a dedicated VM just for the arbiters). But that's another pie :) -- 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://meet.google.com/cpu-eiue-hvk Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
