Thanks Strahil,

I have a couple of questions.

My /gluster1 is mounted, but no "data" folder, I suppose that will be created when I reset the brick. I see two versions of the reset-brick operations:

   gluster reset-brick <VOLNAME> <SOURCE-BRICK> start
   gluster reset-brick <VOLNAME> <SOURCE-BRICK> <NEW-BRICK> commit

I assume I should use the first version. When I specify the <SOURCE-BRICK> do I just put the number or do I have to include the "Brick" prefix ?

As for the brick layout, you hit the nail on the head. My VMs' went down and it was very painful to get everything back up to speed. I thought I had implemented the correct layout, I guess I was wrong. Which one do you suggest ?

Thanks so much,

Yep, you have to bring back hydra4:/gluster1/data

You can mount again /gluster1/data (don't forget SELINUX) and then use gluster's reset-brick to rebuild that brick.

Most probably you have an entry that was saved on hydra4:/gluster1/data and the arbiter but was not pushed to the surviving brick (based on the entry in the arbiter)

Usually, I use method 2 fromĀ https://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/Troubleshooting/gfid-to-path/ to identify the file and then you can check the status of that file on the bricks (and if necessary restore from backup). You should do that only after you have brought back hydra4:/gluster1/data to the volume.

You should also reconsider the brick layout, as in some cases a single hydra failure (whole server) will kill a subvolume and all VMs' disks on that subvolume will be unavailable.

    Strahil,

    did some more digging into the heal info output.

    Found also the following:

        [...]
        Brick hydra4:/gluster1/data
        Status: Transport endpoint is not connected
        Number of entries: -
Brick hydra3:/arbiter/2
        <gfid:2aa223b0-77f5-441e-bc76-34c8d459eeaa>
        [...]

    So, to augment what I wrote before, the errors appear in "Brick
    hydra3:/gluster3/data" and "Brick hydra3:/arbiter/2", plus that
    "Transport endpoint is not connected" for "Brick
    hydra4:/gluster1/data".

    I need to add that hydra4:/gluster1 is the RAID that had major
    hardware failure.
