Hi,

I have noticed that when using a distribute volume, if a brick is not accessible, volume is still accessible in read-write mode, but some files can’t be created (depending on filename).

Is it possible to force a distribute volume to be put in read-only mode during a brick failure, to avoid random access error?

You can either remount the volume as read-only.  ( mount with "ro" option)
OR
You can set the volume read-only. (gluster volume set <volume name> read-only on)

I’m afraid of application behavior in this case, when only some files are not accessible. I prefer to have volume not writeable when a brick failed.

It is better to configure a distribute replicate volume, so that volume is accessible(and writable) even if one node is down.

Thanks,
