How can a brick from an old volume be reused in a new volume with Red Hat Gluster Storage ?
Issue
-
Have removed volume from storage console and tried creating a new volume and used same brick for the deleted volume, Is there any solution to unmap brick from deleted volume?
-
When trying to reuse a brick in a new gluster volume, it will fail with a message,
~ Snippet from terminal:
# gluster volume add-brick test-vol gluster3:/bricks/app
/bricks/app or a prefix of it is already part of a volume
The stale brick can be either:
- removed from a volume with the command
gluster volume remove-brick ...
- from an old, deleted volume (
gluster volume delete ...
)
