Hi,
I'm afraid I still need some help.
When I originally set up my gluster (about 3 years ago), I set it up as
Distributed-Replicated without specifying a replica count and I believe
that defaulted to a replica 2. I have 4 servers with 3 RAIDs attached to
each server. This was my result:
Number of Bricks: 6 x 2 = 12
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: hydra1:/gluster1/data
Brick2: hydra1:/gluster2/data
Brick3: hydra1:/gluster3/data
Brick4: hydra2:/gluster1/data
Brick5: hydra2:/gluster2/data
Brick6: hydra2:/gluster3/data
Brick7: hydra3:/gluster1/data
Brick8: hydra3:/gluster2/data
Brick9: hydra3:/gluster3/data
Brick10: hydra4:/gluster1/data
Brick11: hydra4:/gluster2/data
Brick12: hydra4:/gluster3/data
If I understand this correctly I have 6 sub-volumes with Brick2 replica
of Brick1, Brick4 of Brick3, etc. Correct ?
I realize now that it would probably have been better to specify a
different order, but now I cannot change it.
Now I want to store oVirt images on the Gluster and it requires either
replica 1 or replica 3. I need to be able to reuse the bricks I have and
was planning to remove some bricks, initialize them and add them back as
a replica 3.
Am I supposed to remove 6 bricks, one from each sub-volume ? Will that
work ? Will I lose storage space ? Can I just remove a brick from each
server and use those for the replica 3 ?
Thanks for all the help.
