What would be the correct amount of bricks needed to expand the storage on the current configuration of 'Number of Bricks: 1 x (4 + 1) = 5'? ... I tried something similar and ended up with a similar error. As far as I understand the documentation the answer in your case is "5". See: https://docs.gluster.org/en/v3/Administrator%20Guide/Managing%20Volumes/#expanding-volumes "... When expanding distributed replicated and distributed dispersed volumes, you need to add a number of bricks that is a multiple of the replica or disperse count. ..." One suboptimal idea could be: divide the new device in 5 partitions and add these 5 partitions as new bricks and when you get the next device, move one of this bricks to the new device, and so on ... until you have all 5 additional devices. I'm curious for other ideas.
