No Luck.  Same problem.

I stopped the volume.

I ran the remove-brick command. It warned about not being able to migrate files from removed bricks and asked if I want to continue.

when I say 'yes'

Gluster responds with 'failed: Quorum not met Volume operation not allowed'

Hi,

Since your two nodes are scrapped and there is no chance that they
will come back in later time, you can try reducing the replica count
to 1 by removing the down bricks from the volume and then mounting the
volume back to access the data which is available on the only up
brick.
The remove brick command looks like this:

gluster volume remove-brick VOLNAME replica 1
<ip-of-the-first-node-down>:/brick-path
<ip-of-the-second-node-down>:/brick-path force

Regards,
Karthik

So we migrated a number of VMs from a small Gluster 2+1A volume to a newer 
cluster.

Then a few days later the client said he wanted an old forgotten file that had 
been left behind on the the deprecated system.

However the arbiter and one of the brick nodes had been scraped, leaving only a 
single gluster node.

The volume I need uses shards so I am not excited about having to piece it back 
together.

I powered it up the single node and tried to mount the volume and of course it 
refused to mount due to quorum and gluster volume status shows the volume 
offline

In the past I had worked around this issue by disabling quorum, but that was 
years ago, so I googled it and found list messages suggesting the following:

  gluster volume set VOL cluster.quorum-type none
  gluster volume set VOL cluster.server-quorum-type none

However, the gluster 6.9 system refuses to accept those set commands due to the 
quorum and spits out the set failed error.

So in modern Gluster, what is the preferred method for starting and mounting a  
single node/volume that was once part of a actual 3 node cluster?

Thanks.
