Re: [Gluster-users] promote arbiter to full replica
Hi, Yes you can do that. - Make sure "gluster volume heal info" is zero. - Remove the arbiter brick using the command "gluster volume remove-brick replica 2 " - Add a new brick of same size as of the other 2 data brick using the command "gluster volume add-brick replica 3 " - heal info should become zero after some time (depends on the amount of data needs to be replicated to the new brick) HTH, Karthik On Mon, Jul 16, 2018 at 5:01 AM Laura Bailey wrote: > We have instructions for doing the reverse: > > > https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_gluster_storage/3.3/html/administration_guide/creating_arbitrated_replicated_volumes#sect-Convert_Rep2_to_Arbiter > > But not for going from arbiter to a larger replica.

Re: [Gluster-users] Rebalance taking > 2 months
Hi Rusty, We need the following information: 1. The exact gluster version you are running 2. gluster volume info 3. gluster rebalance status 4. Information on the directory structure and file locations on your volume. 5. How many levels of directories 6. How many files and directories in each level 7. How many directories and files in total (a rough estimate) 8. Average file size Please note that having a rebalance running in the background should not affect your volume access in any way. However I would like to know why only 6000 files have been scanned in 6 hours.

[Gluster-users] Rebalance taking > 2 months
Hey folks, I just added a new brick to my existing gluster volume, but *gluster volume rebalance data status* is telling me the following: Estimated time left for rebalance to complete : > 2 months. Please try again later. I already did a fix-mapping, but this thing is absolutely crawling trying to rebalance everything (last estimate was ~40 years) Any thoughts on if this is a bug, or ways to speed this up? It's taking ~6 hours to scan 6000 files, which seems unreasonably slow. Thanks Rusty ___ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@gluster.org https://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
Re: [Gluster-users] promote arbiter to full replica
We have instructions for doing the reverse: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_gluster_storage/3.3/html/administration_guide/creating_arbitrated_replicated_volumes#sect-Convert_Rep2_to_Arbiter But not for going from arbiter to a larger replica. If we get some instructions in this thread I can add them to the docs. :) Cheers, Laura B On Sunday, July 15, 2018, Joseph Wenninger wrote: > Hi! > > I'm using glusterfs 4.1 > > I have a volume with replicas 3 arbiter 1. > > Is it possible to promote the arbiter to a full replica so that the volume > has 3 full copies of all data. > > I didn't find any documentation about that, so I guess it is not possible > to do, although I hope I've missed something, so perhaps somebody could > hint me to the right documentation > > > Best regards > Joseph Wenninger > ___ > Gluster-users mailing list > Gluster-users@gluster.org > https://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users > -- Laura Bailey Principal Technical Writer Customer Content Services BNE ___ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@gluster.org https://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
[Gluster-users] promote arbiter to full replica
Hi! I'm using glusterfs 4.1 I have a volume with replicas 3 arbiter 1. Is it possible to promote the arbiter to a full replica so that the volume has 3 full copies of all data. I didn't find any documentation about that, so I guess it is not possible to do, although I hope I've missed something, so perhaps somebody could hint me to the right documentation Best regards Joseph Wenninger ___ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@gluster.org https://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
