I have this a go.
gluster volume add-brick myvol replica 2 server2:/brick1 gluster volume heal myvol full It seems to be syncing the files but very slowly. Also the server load on server01 has risen to 200+ and the gluster clients are no longer able to access the mounts. Is there a way to do this that is not as impactful? Could I manually rsync the bricks before adding the second node back in?

Original volume info: Volume Name: myvol Type: Replicate Status: Started Number of Bricks: 2 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: server01:/brick1 Brick2: server02:/brick1 I removed the second brick (that was showing server problems). gluster volume remove-brick myvol replica 1 server02:/brick1 Now the volume status is: Volume Name: tsfsvol0 Type: Distribute Status: Started Number of Bricks: 1 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: server01:/brick1 All is fine and the data on working server is sound. The xfs partition for server02:/brick1 has been formatted and therefore the data gone. All other gluster config data has remained untouched. Can I re-add the second server to the volume with an empty brick and the data will auto replicate over from the working server? gluster volume add-brick myvol replica 2 server2:/brick1 ?? Yes this should work fine. You will need to run a `gluster volume heal myvol full` to manually trigger the replication. <blockquote> ALUN JAMES Senior Systems Engineer Tibus T: +44 (0)28 9033 1122 E: [email protected] W: www.tibus.com Follow us on Twitter @tibus Tibus is a trading name of The Internet Business Ltd, a company limited by share capital and registered in Northern Ireland, NI31325.
