if you don't want any downtime (in the case that your node 2 really die), you 
have to create a new gluster san (if you have the resources of course, 3 nodes 
as much as possible this time), and then just migrate your vms (or files), 
therefore no downtime but you have to cross your finger that the only node will 
not die too...  also without sharding the vm migration especially an rdp one, 
will be slow access from users till it migrated.
you have to start testing sharding, it's fast and cool...

Subject: Re: [Gluster-users] Failed file system

you need to have a downtime to recreate the second node, two nodes is actually 
not good for production and you should have put raid 1 or raid 5 as your 
gluster storage, when you recreate the second node you might try running some 
VMs that need to be up and rest of vm need to be down but stop all backup and 
if you have replication, stop it too.  if you have 1G nic, 2cpu and less 8Gram, 
then i suggest all turn off the VMs during recreation of second node. someone 
said if you have sharding with 3.7.x, maybe some vip vm can be up...
if it just a filesystem, then just turn off the backup service until you 
recreate the second node. depending on your resources and how big is your 
storage, it might be hours to recreate it and even days...
here's my process on recreating the second or third node (copied and modifed 
from the net),
#make sure partition is already added!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This 
procedure is for replacing a failed server, IF your newly installed server has 
the same hostname as the failed one:
(If your new server will have a different hostname, see this article instead.)
For purposes of this example, the server that crashed will be server3 and the 
other servers will be server1 and server2
On both server1 and server2, make sure hostname server3 resolves to the correct 
IP address of the new replacement server.#On either server1 or server2, dogrep 
server3 /var/lib/glusterd/peers/*
This will return a uuid followed by ":hostname1=server3"
#On server3, make sure glusterd is stopped, then doecho UUID={uuid from 
previous step}>/var/lib/glusterd/glusterd.info
#actual testing below,[root@node1 ~]# cat 
/var/lib/glusterd/glusterd.infoUUID=4b9d153c-5958-4dbe-8f91-7b5002882aacoperating-version=30710#the
 second line is new.........  maybe not needed...
On server3:make sure that all brick directories are created/mountedstart 
glusterdpeer probe one of the existing servers
#restart glusterd, check that full peer list has been populated using gluster 
peer status

 Hi, we have a 2 node replica setup
on 1 of the nodes the file system that had the brick on it failed, not the OS
can we re create a file system and mount the bricks on the same mount point

what will happen, will the data from the other node sync over, or will the 
failed node wipe out the data on the other mode?

what would be the correct process?

Thanks in advance for any help
